Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Bordeaux Rosé

Unlock the perfect flavour pairings for Bordeaux rosé according to data science. Explore unique recipes and discover the hidden mathematics of flavour.

Bordeaux rosé immediately conjures the evocative embrace of raspberry and the bracing kiss of peach, but beneath its bitterness lies a complex symphony of subtle flavour notes, such as apricot, rose, and hints of hibiscus. These are the notes that lend it such remarkable, resonant depth. Understanding how these layered flavours work together is the secret to unlocking truly exceptional pairings.

To map these harmonies, we analysed thousands of ingredients, breaking each one down across 150 flavour dimensions, identifying which notes complement and contrast. Our exploration reveals, for instance, how the fresh, green cis-3-hexen-1-ol in parsley can carry Bordeaux rosé, and how thyme's balsam notes forge a beautiful synergy with its bright sweetness.

An ingredient's flavour stems from its core characteristics, such as floral, acidic, or nectarous, combined with layers of subtle flavour notes (outer bars). For a balanced dish, pair ingredients with a variety of core flavours, and choose complementary aroma notes for harmony.

The Secret Language of Flavour

To understand exactly which flavours harmonise, we compiled a database of over 50,000 ingredient pairings commonly used in cooking. We then analysed these pairings, identifying the specific flavour notes that frequently appear together.

The Flavours That Harmonise With Raspberry Notes

Our analysis reveals a strong connection between raspberry and balsam flavours. Since Bordeaux rosé has a distinct berry-like flavour, try pairing it with the balsam flavours of thyme.

How Flavonomics Works

We've pioneered a unique, data-driven approach to decode the intricate art of flavour pairing. Our goal is to move beyond intuition and uncover the science of why certain ingredients harmonise beautifully. This rigorous methodology allows us to provide you with insightful and reliable pairing recommendations.

Our analysis begins with over 50,000 carefully selected recipes from acclaimed chefs like Galton Blackiston, Marcello Tully, and Pierre Lambinon. This premium dataset ensures our model distils genuine culinary excellence and creativity.

Each ingredient from these recipes is deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, creating a unique numerical "flavour fingerprint." This quantification allows us to apply advanced analytical methods to identify complex patterns between flavour notes.

We identify popular ingredient combinations that frequently appear in our recipe database. Regression analysis is then performed on these pairings to statistically validate and pinpoint truly harmonious flavours.

These insights drive our predictive model, which allows us to take any ingredient (e.g., Bordeaux Rosé), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
