Por qué funciona
Cassoulet is rich, salty, and deeply savory, but the beans keep it earthy rather than sleek. Tart medium red works here because its acidity keeps tomato, cheese, and roasted flavors lively while moderate tannin gives just enough grip. The important move is staying in the same weight class as the dish, choosing a clear complement or contrast instead of fighting the dish, so the wine supports the food instead of becoming a separate event.
