A PAIRING GUIDE
What wine goes with mushroom tart?
Mushroom Tart: Cabernet Franc.
The short answer
For mushroom tart, start with Cabernet Franc. Why it works: the tannin in these wines grips fat and protein, so a rich mushroom tart softens them and the fruit comes forward.
The wines to reach for
- Cabernet Franc: medium body, raspberry, bell pepper. Cabernet Franc is full-bodied, with firm tannin and fresh acidity, finishing dry. A little oak is common. Home turf: Loire (Chinon), Bordeaux Right Bank.
Where to look
Good places to find these styles include Pauillac and Pomerol.
