Our wine and barbecue pairing ideas

Discover our wine and barbecue pairing ideas for summer.

Summer is often synonymous with aperitifs, holidays and barbecues. Barbecues are an institution in our culture, a time for conviviality, sharing and indulgence.

Discover our food and wine pairing ideas for grilled meat and fish!

Which wines to pair with grilled meat?

For your barbecued beef, there's nothing like a characterful red wine like a Crozes-Hermitage. Our Sicamor AOP Crozes-Hermitage red wine will go perfectly with this meat, with its nose of spices, black fruit jelly and blackberries, and its velvety tannins.

For lamb, opt for a dry red wine with notes of red fruit and concentrated, supple tannins, such as Monier de la Sizeranne AOP Hermitage, which goes wonderfully with barbecued lamb chops.

For duck lovers, Les Arènes AOP Cornas will be an excellent choice. The very ripe, spicy fruit aromas of the Syrah will marry deliciously with grilled duck meat.

To accompany our barbecue favourites, sausages, merguez and chipolatas, we recommend a light, fruity red wine like our Pinot Noir from Alsace, which will go perfectly with the grilled flavours of the sausages.

Which wines go best with grilled fish and seafood?

For grilled fish, there's nothing better than a dry white wine like our Combe Pilate "Les Lognards "IGP Collines Rhodaniennes. The texture and flavour of your grilled fish will go delightfully well with the citrus notes and hints of lime blossom and mild spices in this wine.

Gambas, prawns, scallops... fancy a seafood barbecue?

The iodine content of seafood makes it a perfect match for mineral white wines, whose salinity will remind you of the sea. We recommend our Occultum Lapidem AOP Côtes-du-Roussillon white wine. A fresh wine, full of minerality and complexity, it will enhance the iodised flavours of your prawns, prawns and grilled scallops.

For a great match, opt for our Mathilde Chapoutier Sélection Rias Baixas, a Spanish white wine with a saline touch and a fine balance between freshness and acidity. This wine is the perfect accompaniment to grilled seafood!
