Pot-au-feu & Beaujolais

Pot-au-feu, the quintessential bourgeois dish, pairs with a Beaujolais cru or a light Rhone red. The wine's lightness respects the delicate broth and the tenderness of the boiled meats.

Light and fruity, it accompanies without masking the delicacy of meats and vegetables

Supple and warm, a classic pairing for a winter pot-au-feu

Sommelier tip

Pot-au-feu is often served in two stages: first the broth as soup, then the meats. Serve wine with the meats, not the broth. A slightly chilled Beaujolais (13-14°C) is perfect.
