1. Grilled entrecote with rosemary potatoes and green asparagus
   The structure and tannins of the wine match the fat and juiciness of an entrecote. The spicy touch of rosemary and the slightly bitter asparagus enhance the freshness and floral character of the wine.

3. Beef stew with carrot, celery and thyme
   A classic stew brings out the depth and fruity complexity of the wine. The combination of slow-cooked beef and aromatic vegetables forms a harmonious match with the mineral freshness and soft tannins of the Pavillon Rouge.

5. Roasted chicken with garlic, lemon and Provencal herbs
   The elegant, medium body of this wine makes it surprisingly suitable for poultry. The spiciness and fresh acidity in the dish complement the refined balance in the wine.

7. Pasta with mushrooms, truffle oil and Parmesan cheese
   The earthy flavors of mushrooms and the umami profile of Parmesan cheese bring out the floral and dark fruit aromas in the wine, while truffle oil provides a luxurious contrast to the finesse of the wine.

9. Baked duck breast with fig compote and parsnip puree
   The sweet and savoury elements of this dish reflect the complexity of the wine. The combination with figs and parsnips brings out the elegant character of the blend, especially the Merlot and Petit Verdot.

11. Ravioli filled with candied lamb shoulder, caramelized onion and sage butter sauce
    The richness of the lamb and the soft sweetness of the onion create a layered experience. The freshness and floral notes of the wine keep things lively, while the structure remains intact with the rich dish.
