Which wine with game?
Food & wine pairing: game and natural, organic and biodynamic wine
A wild boar civet simmering gently, a roast venison fillet, a few sautéed mushrooms on the side… game calls for natural wines that are both powerful and elegant. A natural Cahors, an organic Côtes-du-Rhône or a well-structured wine from the South-West create intense food and wine pairings, perfect for big autumn gatherings.

Wine and game pairing
Game and wine: controlled power
Game tastes of the forest, of slow-cooked dishes and generous meals. Deep red meats, wine sauces, mushrooms and wild berries call for wines that can stand up to these powerful flavours. For a successful pairing, you need natural wines with firm structure but no heaviness, with ripe tannins and good freshness so the palate doesn’t tire. Roast venison goes beautifully with a deep red wine with slightly spicy notes, while a richer civet will appreciate the honesty of a natural Malbec or Syrah. The idea is not to tame the game but to converse with it: the wine should extend the meat, accompany the flavours and soften the power of the dish.
Perfect natural wines to go with game
Natural wines from the South-West or the Rhône Valley stand out here. A dense, vibrant natural Cahors with supple tannins works wonders with a civet or a wild boar stew. Rich, peppery organic Côtes-du-Rhône pair ideally with roast pheasant or venison in sauce. For a fresher take, a Loire Cabernet Franc or a naturally made Mondeuse from Savoie brings a fruitier, lighter touch, ideal with partridge or wild rabbit. Powerful yet alive, these wines embody the quiet strength of natural wine: character, but always drinkability. A pairing full of depth, to enjoy by the fire, glass in hand.
