Red wines, great terroirs and characterful cuvées

Red wine can be fine, velvety, powerful, spicy, tannic, rounded or deeply complex. Its style depends on grape variety, terroir, vintage, ageing and the savoir-faire of the estate. This diversity makes it possible to choose a bottle suited to both simple cuisine and memorable occasions.

Fine and elegant red wines: often associated with Pinot Noir, Gamay, Cabernet Franc or certain Nebbiolo wines, they appeal through delicate texture, freshness, fine tannins and aromatic precision.

Rounded and generous red wines: supple, fruit-driven and harmonious, they offer a more immediate approach, with soft tannins and expressive fruit.

Full-bodied and expressive red wines: these wines offer a strong presence, structured texture and fine aromatic intensity. They suit generous meals and lovers of characterful reds.

Powerful and spicy red wines: marked by black fruit, pepper, liquorice, cocoa or smoky notes, they pair beautifully with characterful dishes, grilled meats and aromatic cuisines.

Bordeaux: great age-worthy red wines, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Médoc, Saint-Émilion, Pomerol and Pessac-Léognan.

Burgundy: Pinot Noir of great finesse, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, grands crus, premiers crus and mature vintages.

Rhône Valley: northern Syrah, southern Grenache, Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and great spicy reds.

Piedmont: Barolo, Barbaresco and great Nebbiolo wines, deep, structured, noble and built for evolution.

Tuscany: Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Bolgheri, Sangiovese and Super Tuscans.

Spain and the New World: Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Napa Valley, Barossa Valley and Mendoza offer deep, expressive and varied red wines.

Pinot Noir: finesse, perfume, silky texture, red fruit, flowers, delicate spices and great terroir expression.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot: structure, depth, black fruit, tannins, complexity and great Bordeaux blends.

Syrah and Grenache: spice, black fruit, peppery notes, Mediterranean power or northern freshness depending on origin.

Nebbiolo and Sangiovese: acidity, tension, noble tannins, floral aromas, cherry, leather, tobacco and great ageing capacity.

For a powerful meal: choose a Bordeaux, Rhône, Barolo, Priorat or great Syrah.

For finesse: choose a Burgundy Pinot Noir, an elegant Nebbiolo, a Cabernet Franc or a red wine with a more delicate texture.

For immediate drinking: look for a rounded, generous and balanced red wine, with supple tannins and expressive fruit.

For the end of a meal: fortified wines offer an intense, rich and complex alternative, particularly interesting with cheese or desserts.

Pinot Noir: roast poultry, veal, mushrooms, pigeon, delicate dishes and mild cheeses.

Bordeaux and structured reds: beef, lamb, game, slow-cooked dishes, reduced sauces and mature cheeses.

Syrah and spicy reds: duck, grilled meats, pepper-based dishes, Mediterranean cuisine and feathered game.
