Looking for the best wine with tartiflette? It helps to look beyond the main flavour. Cheese, potato and the sauce together define the profile, and that is what we base the wine choice on. Through the Wine DNA, our algorithm calculates the flavour balance of tartiflette and links it to the wine styles that come closest. Below that profile is worked out, with the recommended wines, their grape and region, and a short rationale per bottle.
The Wine DNA of tartiflette
The Wine DNA of tartiflette shows a clear profile: Savoury and earthy are the strongest flavour axes. Our algorithm translates this flavour balance into wines whose own DNA axes — acidity, tannin, body, fruit and spice — complement the dish rather than overpower it. The higher an axis below, the more that taste defines the dish and the more precisely the wine selection responds to it.

Serving tips
Serve red wine with tartiflette lightly at room temperature (16-18°C); too warm makes the alcohol dominant.
Let a full-bodied red breathe for 20-30 minutes before pouring it with tartiflette.
Match the intensity: the richer tartiflette is on the plate, the fuller the wine may be.
