Wine and chateaubriand pairings

Chateaubriand generally pairs well with a medium-bodied red wine that has ideally been cellared for several years and has therefore developed ripe notes.

A Bordeaux or Burgundy can be a nice combination with chateaubriand. A slightly older Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir from other countries can also be a good combination with a not too heavy (Southern) Italian.
