What wine to serve with lamb?
Tasty and quite powerful meat that does not lack fat, we prefer to accompany lamb with a red wine that also has power, volume and tannins. In short, a wine of character for a meat of character.
A red wine with lamb
Red wine is the classic wine to serve with lamb. If you cook the lamb in a 7-hour leg of lamb, for example, the meat becomes candied and has a roundness in the mouth. Young, structured red wines from the South-West or more evolved (aged) ones such as Bordeaux will go wonderfully well with the evolutionary notes. Moreover, whatever the cooking of the lamb, it should be accompanied by a fairly full-bodied red wine with silky tannins.
Clearly, you need a red wine that can stand up to the power of the lamb's flavour and tannins that counteract the roundness of the dish. Discover our selection of wines to accompany your lamb by clicking here or on the image below.
You will find red wines from Bordeaux, Languedoc and the South-West, as well as some surprises. It's your turn to play!
