The story behind
the dish
A traditional Sunday meal, Bœuf
Bourguignon has its origins in
Burgundy, France. It is named
after the two Burgundy products
that it contains: beef and red
wine. Traditionally, Burgundy is
renowned for its cattle farms – in
particular those breeding Charolais
cattle from the region of the same
name – and for the wines from
its vineyards, especially from the
Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune
vineyards. Bœuf Bourguignon is
emblematic of the cuisine and
terroir of Burgundy.
Meeting European and national
sanitary demands:
Combining meat and vegetables to
create dishes that are as hearty as
they are tasty is key to all culinary
cultures. Countries throughout the
world have always combined their
vegetable, cereal or fruit products
with their livestock products.
Once a regional and now a national
favourite that features in all recipe
books, our Bœuf Bourguignon
allows the distinctive flavours of
the meat and vegetables to feed
off each other as they are slowly
simmered together. The result is
extraordinary!
The dish brings together three
production sectors of great repute:
• beefmeat production, which
is particularly important in
Burgundy, the recipe’s region of
origin.
In France, beefmeat production
contributes to the environmental
quality of the land, maintaining
biodiversity, the countryside and
jobs.
• vegetable production
• wine production
The meat has unique organoleptic
qualities and is packed with
nuanced flavours!
The subtle sensory experience,
bringing together texture, flavour
and succulence, is what gives
the meat its characteristic taste.
Each morsel of meat – there are
more than 100 different kinds,
all of which are different – has a
particular texture and a specific
flavour, offering an almost infinite
number of culinary possibilities,
especially when the meat is
combined with vegetables, fruit or
cereals.
