3Beef Bourguignon

Another classic dish from Burgundy, Boeuf Bourguignon is a slow-cooked beef stew that’s rich in flavor and texture.

The beef is simmered in red wine with carrots, onions, mushrooms, and garlic, creating a thick, flavorful sauce. Like Coq au Vin, it’s a comforting dish best enjoyed with a glass of wine and crusty bread.

Best Paired With: A full-bodied red Burgundy to echo the flavors in the dish or a robust Bordeaux for contrast.
