What wine with veal?
Food and wine pairing · classic benchmarks: the preparation and your taste come first.
Escalope, roast, blanquette: delicate white meat that prefers finesse to power. A tender red or a generous white depending on the sauce.
Red
Supple Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc respect veal's delicacy.
White
With blanquette or a creamy sauce, a rounded Chardonnay is the obvious call.
How to use these pairings
A good pairing balances the dish and the wine: neither should dominate. The suggestions above are proven classics for the category, not rules: the preparation, the sauce and your taste matter more. When in doubt, the regional pairing (the wine from the dish's homeland) rarely fails.
