FRANCE - Drink Pairing Brochure
In France, drinking is less about quantity and more about quality and pleasure. Whether it's wine, apéritifs, digestifs, or a well-made cocktail, drinks are thoughtfully chosen to complement the meal, reflect the region, and encourage meaningful conversation. Our France drink brochure showcases elegant cocktails, classic mocktails, and carefully selected wines and beers that elevate each dish and reflect the sophistication of French culinary artistry. All drink pairing recipes are curated with guidance from award-winning mixologist Anthony Caporale and the wine experts at IPO Wines. Note on wine: We highlight grape varieties and regions not specific winemakers. ALL COCKTAILS CAN BE MADE ZERO-PROOF WITH NON-ALCOHOLIC BASES.

Boeuf Bourguignon
Boeuf bourguignon is so much more than just another beef stew! This classic French dish, made so popular by Julia Child, is the kind of stew you make to impress your family, celebrate a winter birthday, or even serve up for the holidays.
En Papillote
En papillote, pronounced "on poppy-yote", is a French method of slow-cooking fish in parchment paper - in a low-temperature oven. The sealed paper parcel retains moisture and steams the food. Fish is delicate and cooks quickly, which is why en papillote is a great (almost odorless) way to cook it!
Poulet Rôti
Roast chicken, or poulet rôti in French, is easy to make but the real secret to the famously tasty French roast chickens is their feed and rearing. The birds in France roam freely, happily pecking and scratching in the grass, their foraged food supplemented with milk and corn. Therefore, if possible, use free-range chicken to duplicate this delicious poulet rôti.
