Guess first: which sensation dominates this dish?

Wenn dieser Wein nicht verfugbar ist…

If this exact wine is not available, reach for a similar style: same colour, comparable body and a similar level of acidity or tannin. This keeps the balance between dish and glass intact.

Warum dieses Pairing funktioniert
The mix of juicy dark fruit, fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins in this Bordeaux adds freshness to the richness of fillet, herb butter and fries. Oak and dark berry notes pick up the seared crust – this aromatic bridge ties classic steakhouse flavours to Bordeaux in the glass.
