Description
Most versions of brisket are savory.
Key ingredients are often Onions, Garlic, Carrots and the Sauce.
The wine choice for Beef Brisket depends on the sauce: the richer the sause, the bolder the wine.
A Côtes du Rhône South (a Châteauneuf-du-Pape if you can afford it) is an excellent pairing for a beef brisket. The body is right, the acidity is right, and the fruit notes is a perfect match to a savory sauce.
The same arguments can also be used for the other pairing suggestions.
