Entrecôte Gourmet Pêre & Fils is a French red blend that brings together Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah into a bold, approachable style. With an alcohol strength of 14%, this wine shows ripe fruit character and a warm, structured profile that suits both relaxed meals and heartier fare.
On the eye it typically presents a deep, ruby to garnet color that hints at concentrated dark fruit. The nose opens with notes of black cherry, plum and cassis, complemented by a touch of spicy pepper and subtle earthy undertones from the Syrah and Cabernet components.
On the palate the blend tends to deliver smooth, rounded fruit supported by moderate tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors of ripe red and black berries mingle with a hint of toasted spice, creating a finish that is persistent but not heavy, making it versatile at the table.
Serve slightly cool at around 16–18°C to allow both fruit and structure to show; a standard red wine glass helps concentrate the aromas while softening the perception of alcohol.
Tasting profile and structure
Visually this wine leans toward a dense ruby color, signaling concentration and freshness.
The aroma profile favors dark berry fruits—blackcurrant and black cherry—backed by subtle notes of plum and dried herbs.
On tasting, Merlot offers plush, round fruit, while Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure and core tannin, and Syrah adds spicy, peppery accents and a touch of savory complexity.
The mid-palate is typically full enough to stand up to robust flavors, with tannins that give backbone without overwhelming the fruit tones.
The finish is warm and persistent, finishing with soft spice and lingering berry notes that invite another sip.
Food pairing and occasions
This red blend pairs naturally with grilled and roasted meats; think seared steak, flame-grilled burgers or a peppery ribeye.
Hearty stews and braised dishes find a good companion here, as the wine’s structure matches well with rich, slow-cooked flavors.
Lamb and mutton, with their pronounced flavor, are excellent matches, as are barbecued cuts glazed with savory sauces.
For cheese, opt for aged or robust varieties—sharp cheddar, aged Gouda or stronger blue cheeses—whose fat and flavor are balanced by the wine’s acidity and tannin.
This wine is also well suited to convivial gatherings and casual meals where bold, food-friendly red wine is desired.
