Recipe: Mushroom Bourguignon + Precioso

A slow autumn dinner, a bottle opened, and nowhere else to be.

Some evenings are meant to be stretched a little longer.

A pot simmering on the stove. The first bottle opened before dinner is ready. Something warm and generous waiting at the center of the table.

This month, we’re bringing a little of Keller Estate home with Mushroom Bourguignon paired with Precioso—a rich, savory combination made for cooler evenings and long dinners around the table.

A Fall Classic, Reimagined

Mushroom Bourguignon takes everything we love about the classic French dish and lets mushrooms take center stage.

Slowly browned mushrooms, pearl onions, carrots and herbs come together with red wine and broth to create a sauce that is deep, earthy and full of umami.

It’s comforting without feeling heavy. Familiar, but still special enough to build an evening around.

And, most importantly, it gives the wine something interesting to meet at the table.

Why Precioso?

2022 Precioso Pinot Noir

The natural place to begin.

Our 2022 Precioso Pinot Noir opens with hibiscus and lavender, followed by black cherry, black currant and cranberry, with baking spice sitting gently behind the fruit. Its supple tannins and creamy texture give the wine enough structure for the richness of the dish without overpowering it. KE 2022 Pinot Noir Precioso

With Mushroom Bourguignon, those bright fruit and floral notes create contrast against the earthy mushrooms, while the wine’s spice and texture echo the deeper flavors of the sauce.

The result: savory meets vibrant.

2022 Precioso Syrah

For a darker, more savory expression, move to Precioso Syrah.

Its notes of violet, dark cocoa and cured meat complement the richness and umami of the Bourguignon, making it an especially satisfying pairing as the evening unfolds.

Two wines. The same dish. Two very different ways to experience Precioso.

Make It an Evening

For the full experience, begin with a bottle of 2022 Precioso Chardonnay while dinner comes together.

Then bring the Pinot Noir and Syrah to the table and taste how each wine changes the dish—and how the dish changes each wine.

That is the beauty of pairing.

There doesn’t always have to be one perfect answer. Sometimes the pleasure is in opening another bottle and discovering the difference together.
