A Symbolic Wine Bottle

Choosing a wine for Valentine’s Day should capture the essence of love and romance. Some wines stand out not only for their unique flavor but also for their romantic allure.

Saint-Amour, a Beaujolais cru, is a must-have for Valentine’s Day. Its name evokes love and passion. This wine, both fruity and spicy, is perfect for a romantic dinner. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, from charcuterie to chocolate desserts.

A wine from Château Les Amoureuses is also a great choice for celebrating Valentine’s Day. This Côtes du Rhône wine, with notes of black cherries, is an ode to love and will pair wonderfully with your fine cuts of meat.

Why not gift an elegant and aromatic white wine to your partner? Blanc d’Amour from Château Bizard is ideal for enhancing all your fish dishes.

Finally, if you’re looking for champagne to toast your love, we recommend Amour de Cuvée from Champagne Dumenil. This fruit-forward champagne is perfect for enjoying as an aperitif or with your desserts.

What Wine to Choose for Your Valentine's Meal?

The Aperitif

Start your evening with a light and fruity rosé, perfect for accompanying fish toasts or seafood verrines. For a romantic aperitif, opt for a fresh and fruity rosé champagne to enhance your appetizers.

The Main Course

For the main course, if you’re enjoying a fine cut of meat, choose a structured and elegant red wine. Consider a Rhône Valley red wine like Châteauneuf-du-Pape or a finely nuanced Burgundy wine.

To complement a fish dish or a seafood platter, we recommend a crisp and mineral white wine. Dry white wines from Burgundy like Chablis or those from the Loire Valley such as Sancerre are excellent choices for your Valentine’s meal.

Dessert

For the dessert course of your Valentine’s meal, we suggest an AOC Sauternes. With its notes of honey and candied fruits, this type of wine is an excellent choice for Valentine’s Day. Its sweet, liqueur-like qualities pair beautifully with sweet desserts or cheese platters.

Valentine’s Day is the ideal time to celebrate love with a carefully chosen bottle of wine.
