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.
The traditional recipe for this dish includes garnishes such as mushrooms and bacon. As for the meat, it had to be Charolais. One of the particularities, which has not changed, is the cooking time. A beef bourguignon must simmer on low heat for several hours if you want to make this dish.
