If you are in a hurry

What strawberry characteristics pair well with which wine?

Strawberries are a rather sweet fruit. Their flavor does have a slightly tart note, which is something to consider when pairing them with wine. Everything will also depend on how they're prepared. A tartlet or pie certainly calls for a sweet red wine. Its sweetness and the fruit itself will complement the cream and the fruit's flavor. Plain strawberries can be paired with a sweet, sparkling rosé wine. The effervescence will cut through the acidity, and the fruit will shine through perfectly, even though some people aren't fans of bubbles at the end of a meal. A good compromise for many types of preparations can be a sparkling red wine. Sweet, slightly sparkling, and fruity, it combines all the advantages for a dish like strawberries.

Wines to choose

You could therefore opt for an appellation like Maury , whose sweet red wines pair beautifully with red fruit desserts. There's also a sparkling rosé that goes well with natural, not-too-sweet strawberries, such as Jeaunaux Robin rosé Champagne . You could also try a semi-sweet rosé, which would be perfect with a very simple strawberry dessert; for example , rosés from Anjou .

A bay that brings happiness

The wild strawberry, a miraculous berry cultivated for centuries in Europe and North America, is universally loved. The Romans were already very fond of this "false fruit," gathering or cultivating it depending on the region. The season, which begins in spring, allows us to enjoy this natural delight in many forms: tarts, ice cream or sorbet, plain or even with chocolate. Everyone has their favorite recipe, but everyone finds something to enjoy. It's worth remembering that the strawberry is the French's favorite fruit, with roughly one in two people telling you how much they admire it. In France, we find our famous Gariguette strawberries from Plougastel, the Marat des Bois variety, as well as Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) strawberries like the Fraise du Périgord (Périgord Strawberry) or the Label Rouge (Red Label) strawberry from Lot-et-Garonne.
