Cassoulet
Cassoulet is a hearty, slow-cooked French casserole containing meat (typically duck confit, pork sausages, and sometimes mutton), white beans, and aromatics. Its rich, savory flavors and substantial body call for beverages with equal weight and complexity that can stand up to the dish's fatty components while complementing its earthy, herb-infused profile.
