Method
Pat wild boar chunks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Brown the wild boar pieces in batches, ensuring all sides are well-seared. Remove and set aside.
Cook diced bacon in the same pot until crispy. Remove bacon, leaving fat in the pot.
Sauté onions and carrots in the bacon fat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to combine.
Slowly pour in red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add beef stock, bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary.
Return wild boar and bacon to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and transfer to 325°F oven.
Braise for 2.5-3 hours until meat is fork-tender and sauce has thickened to a glossy consistency.
Remove herbs and bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread.

Tips & variations
Perfect Sear
Don't overcrowd the pot when browning the meat. Work in batches to ensure each piece gets a beautiful caramelized crust that adds incredible depth to the final sauce.
Wine Selection
Use a wine you'd actually drink - Burgundy or Pinot Noir work beautifully. The wine reduces significantly, so its flavor becomes concentrated in the dish.
Low and Slow
Keep the oven temperature low and steady. The gentle heat breaks down the tough fibers in wild boar, creating melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
Beef Bourguignon
Substitute wild boar with beef chuck roast cut into chunks. Reduce cooking time to 2-2.5 hours as beef becomes tender faster than wild boar.
Root Vegetable Addition
Add parsnips, turnips, or pearl onions in the last hour of cooking for extra heartiness and traditional French countryside flavor.
