Here are some ideas for pairing rosé wine with food:

  • Fish: rosé wine goes well with light fish such as salmon, tuna and sea bass, but also with oily fish such as mackerel and squid.
  • White meat: rosé wine is perfect to accompany white meat such as chicken, turkey and rabbit.
  • Vegetables: rosé wine goes well with grilled vegetables, in particular with red berried ones such as tomatoes and aubergines.
  • Cheeses: Rosé wine pairs well with light cheeses like brie, camembert, and roquefort.
  • Salads: rosé wine is perfect to accompany summer salads, especially if dressed with an emulsion of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Rosé wine can also be drunk on its own as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to a light meal. In general, it is important to combine rosé wine with light and not too tasty foods to prevent the wine from being overwhelmed by the flavors of the food. It is advisable to taste the wine before deciding which food to pair it with, in order to choose the dish that best matches its aromatic profile and balance.
