Description

A juicy Chateaubriand requires an elegant wine that can stand up to the bold flavor of the meat. A red wine is needed, but not so big that it overwhelms the meat.

The wine choice should consider if the meat is rare, medium or well-done. Charred and bitter? Creamy or peppery sauce?

The wine should have both tannins and a good backbone of acidity.
