Pauillac (Grand Cru Classé)
Pauillac, France
- Its body can stand alongside a substantial dish
- Its acidity offers a fresh contrast to richness
For roast pork with red wine sauce, look for acidity alongside enough body for the richer elements. The red wine sauce can change the choice as much as the main ingredient.

Look for acidity to balance the richer elements, including the red wine sauce. The wine also needs enough body to remain noticeable alongside the food.
With a substantial, protein-rich preparation, a structured red can be useful to compare. A lighter version of the dish may need less weight. Include the cooking method and sauce in your choice.
Wines from the same grape can differ in body, alcohol and sweetness. Compare those details in the profiles below; a grape name alone cannot establish how a bottle will work with your recipe.
