Beef bourguignon & Burgundy
Beef bourguignon naturally calls for a Burgundy wine. A Gevrey-Chambertin or Pommard brings the tannic structure needed to accompany this rich, flavourful stew.

Sommelier tip
The same wine used in cooking can be served at the table — that's the classic rule. Use a Bourgogne Villages for cooking and save the cru for serving.
