Food and wine pairing for a gourmet shepherd's pie!

Hachis parmentier, this comforting dish combining mashed potatoes and minced meat, deserves a special place at the table. In this article, let's dive into the subtle art of food and wine pairing, to sublimate this classic of French cuisine.

The marriage of the creaminess of the purée and the savory flavor of the ground meat creates a warm gastronomic experience. Let's find the wine that will complement this symphony of textures and flavors.

The Classique pairing is a perfect complement to the French cuisine.

The Classic pairing is red wine from the Southwest: a red Bordeaux wine, a Haut-Médoc or a Lalande-de-Pomerol from Château des Annereaux, offer perfect harmony with the mince parmentier. Their structured tannins and red fruit aromas complement the richness of the meat and balance with the sweetness of the potatoes. Elsewhere in the Southwest, a Cahors from Domaine Combel-la-Serre or a Côtes-du-Marmandais from Domaine Elian Da ros are excellent choices.

A Pinot Noir from Burgundy can also be a refined choice. Its delicate aromas of red fruits and silky tannins match the delicacy of the dish, adding a touch of elegance to every bite.

This is a wine that's perfect for the palate.

If you're looking for a wine with a hint of spice and notes of garrigue, a red Côtes-du-Rhône may be an excellent option. Its robust structure can stand up to the pronounced flavor of hash browns. Choose, for example, a Rasteau du Domaine Pique-Basse
