TO ENHANCE this dish:
IRANCY AOC

Juicy and tasty, chimichurri sauce is very popular in Argentina for making "asados", the grilling or roasting of meat coated and exposed to the fire.

The condiment used is very important, it is generally called "chimichurri", a kind of hot sauce that must be emphasized.

A strong, full-bodied and generous wine is needed to match this grilled and spicy beef.

To do this, our experts have chosen an intense and generous red wine from Burgundy, Irancy AOC.

The chochen Irancy wine is from Domaine des Remparts located in the heart of the Auxerrois vineyards.

Made from Pinot Noir, but also from César, a very old local grape variety, these wines do not lack character.

Our suggestion: IRANCY LES CAILLES - DOMAINE DES REMPARTS

Mineral and fleshy, this purple coloured cuvée Les Cailles exhales aromas of red and black fruits (Morello cherry, blackberry, raspberry, blackcurrant) and also surprises with its spicy and peppery notes worthy of accompanying the most spicy dishes.

Its tannins melt in the mouth to give way to a firm and velvety structure.

Round and rich, this red wine offers a charming fruitiness for a price that remains more than affordable. The Domaine des Remparts never ceases to provide us wines with an incomparable price/pleasure ratio in Burgundy!
