Which red wine to accompany a beef bourguignon ?
The origin of the beef bourguignon
The Burgundian beef comes directly from Burgundy, a region famous for its cattle breeding. Formerly called "estouffade de bœuf", it is only much later that it was decided to call it "beef bourguignon". The recipe was beginning to be exported all over the world, so it was necessary to choose a more refined name.
La recette traditionnelle de ce mets comprend des garnitures telles que des champignons et des lardons. La viande, quant à elle, devait être du charolais. L’une des particularités, qui n’a pas changé, tient dans le temps de cuisson. Un bœuf bourguignon doit mijoter à feu doux pendant plusieurs heures si vous souhaitez réaliser ce plat.
Ce plat savoureux était autrefois un plat de paysans, qui utilisaient des morceaux moins nobles de la viande de bœuf pour préparer ce plat en hiver. Le bœuf bourguignon a été popularisé dans le monde entier grâce à la cuisine française, qui a mis en avant la richesse et la diversité des plats régionaux français. Aujourd’hui, il est considéré comme l’un des plats les plus emblématiques de la cuisine française.
