Here are a few superb companions to help you make the most of this moment "wine and tournedos !

> Pomerol - Château la Conseillante 2002 

Sometimes considered the most Burgundian of Bordeaux because of its finesse, Château La Conseillante surprises with its complexity and volume on the palate. It has to be said that the estate, located to the east of Pomerol, is very close to the Saint Emilion appellation. Even if this 2002 vintage is not considered a great one, the 24 months of ageing on the estate give it very interesting ageing potential.  

> Vin de Pays des Bouches du Rhône - Domaine de Trevallon 1997 

Owned by the Dürrbach family since 1955, Domaine de Trevallon is a Provence landmark. The strength of this bottle lies in the fact that its owner, Eloi Dürrbach, blends Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in equal proportions. For this reason, the INAO refused to grant it the appellation "Baux de Provence". Be that as it may, this bottle is a marvel of complexity. Hints of garrigue, spices and tobacco emerge, giving way to a balanced, almost fresh finish.  

> IGP Collines Rhodaniennes - Les Lézardes 2016 - Domaine Rostaing 

Based in Ampuis, the domaine is run by René Rostaing, where he vinifies appellations such as Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and vins de pays. This cuvée is a blend of several young plots of Syrah with an average yield of 35 hectoliters, all aged in oak barrels for 11 months. The nose reveals aromas of black fruit and pepper. The palate is powerful, lively and spicy.
