The perfect Pinot Noir from Jacques Scott deserves great food pairings. We have a wide inventory of wines, liquors, and beers, including Drouhin Laforet Pinot Noir.
Pairing Food with Pinot Noir
Finding the perfect harmony when putting together pinot noir and food results in an experience worthy of the effort, elevating the food and the wine beyond the experience of enjoying either on its own. The team at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits welcomes the opportunity to help you plan the perfect pairing.
Charcuterie and Pinot Noir
A classic pairing – wine and charcuterie – is the perfect opportunity to embrace the superpowers of flavor combination. The salty, smoky, and fatty profiles of smoked ham, salami, and pepperoni are complemented well by a fruit-forward Pinot Noir.
On a charcuterie or a simple cheese tray, the right cheeses alongside a glass of Pinot Noir is “chef kiss.” Soft cheeses like gruyère, brie, gouda pair well with pinot noir, and you can enhance the pairing even further by adding some sweet fruit and gourmet crackers.
Animal Protein and Pinot Noir
The myriad of Pinot Noir varietals are as diverse as the types of animal proteins. Consider the following rules of thumb when choosing a wine to go with certain proteins:
- Poultry – light red with light meat cuts and darker red with darker cuts (chicken and turkey with light red Pinot Noir and duck with medium-bodied bottles)
- Red meat – pairs light with filet and medium-tannin options like pork chops and other heartier choices. From tenderloin to pot roast, Pinot Noir pairs well with red meat.
- Fish – For fattier fishes, like tuna, choose a medium-bodied Pinot Noir, and lighter seafood meals like shellfish and lobster welcome a lighter red.
Vegetables and Fruits with Pinot Noir
Guidelines for pairing vegetables and Pinot Noir consider flavor and preparation. Green, root, and grilled veggies call for fruity Pinot Noirs while sauteed mushrooms welcome brightly acidic red wines.
Pinot Noir wines offer a refreshing spice that elevates the sweet indulgence of apples, berries, and other fruits. When making a charcuterie to serve with Pinot Noir, do not overlook the power of fruit for the maximum flavor experience.
Dessert and Pinot Noir
For dessert pairings, more layered, sophisticated, and rich desserts bring out the fruity flavors of Pinot Noir. Brownies, chocolate mousse, and chocolate-covered strawberries are wonderful complements to this red wine.
