Burgers and Beaujolais wines is always a winning pairing! Why? Simply because there is bound to be a Beaujolais wine that will perfectly complement your burger, whether it is meat-based, vegetarian, or even seafood-based. While the perfect wine-food pairing is the one that best suits your own tastes, it\u2019s not always easy to find it. Here are some suggestions to help you.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\n

The classic pairing: beef and red wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you think burger, you usually think beef burger. Red meat calls for a wine of the same colour, and that\u2019s just as well, there are plenty of Beaujolais reds! Choose one with a bright acidity that will wake up your tastebuds and counterbalance the fat of the meat and cheese. We suggest the R\u00e9gni\u00e9<\/a>,\u00a0Ch\u00e9nas<\/a>, and\u00a0Fleurie<\/a>\u00a0appellations which pair well with beef burgers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re trying out a recipe with stronger flavours like our aged steak burger, with chanterelle mushrooms and mature cheddar<\/a>, a generous and dense wine is ideal. For example? A\u00a0Morgon<\/a>, a\u00a0Moulin-\u00e0-Vent<\/a>, or an old\u00a0C\u00f4te de Brouilly<\/a>\u2026 But for something a little different, a slightly aged Beaujolais Nouveau<\/a> will do the trick!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Veggie burgers: vegetable patties or mushrooms and a fruity red wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flexitarians and vegetarians have plenty of options when it comes to filling their meat-free burgers. Whether you\u2019re making a patty from vegetables, legumes, and spices or filling a burger bun with large grilled mushrooms such as portobello<\/a> mushrooms, the result is often breathtaking. To elevate a veggie burger<\/a>, choose a light and fruity Brouilly<\/a>, or even a R\u00e9gni\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0or a\u00a0Chiroubles<\/a>, they will work very well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Burgers and Beaujolais wines can also be enjoyed in any Bistrots Beaujolais!<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Have you ever heard of \u201cBistrots Beaujolais\u201d? It is a label that recognises restaurants whose owners love Beaujolais wines. Whether they are brasseries, wine bars, bistros or Michelin-starred restaurants, they all have a deep-rooted sense of friendliness and a strong attachment to the Beaujolais vineyard. Check out this map<\/a>\u00a0to see where they are located, whether they are in France or elsewhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Bistrots Beaujolais offer their own take on burgers and will be able to advise you on the best wine pairing. Here are some suggestions: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris:\u00a0Bilili<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Les Arlots<\/a>, in the 15th<\/sup> arrondissement, two dining cellars where the burgers (when there are some left) are to die for, or Mesturet<\/a>\u2019s iconic duck burger in the 2nd<\/sup> arrondissement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Beaujolais region: the burgers made at Buffet de la Gare<\/a>\u00a0(Belleville-sur-Sa\u00f4ne) are worth the detour, and\u00a0La Benoite<\/a>\u00a0(Salles-Arbuissonnas-en-Beaujolais) organises \u201cBurger Thursdays\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Lyon: La Pi\u00e8ce du Boucher<\/a>\u00a0in Limonest and Au Jean Moulin<\/a> in Caluire are a must!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramp up the heat: hints of spice in the ingredients and in Beaujolais wines<\/h2>\n\n

Do you like spicy sauces? Choose a Beaujolais wine with hints of spice and pepper like a\u00a0Juli\u00e9nas<\/a>, a\u00a0Saint-Amour<\/a>\u00a0or even a\u00a0Beaujolais Villages<\/a>. The pairing will work if the wine is able to keep up with the spiciness of the sauce! Avoid mellow wines, they will seem dull in comparison.<\/p>\n\n

A Beaujolais white and fish: let\u2019s take a look at seafood burgers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chicken burgers are also a great option, with a chicken breast either tender and served with a sauce or fried and crispy. These flavours call for a light red wine which will provide a hint of acidity and fruitiness, ideal for this pairing. We suggest a Brouilly<\/a>, a\u00a0Fleurie<\/a>\u00a0or a\u00a0Saint-Amour<\/a>. A preference for white wine? A\u00a0Beaujolais White<\/a>\u00a0can absolutely work with this dish!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

If you are fortunate enough to be in the Beaujolais region in late September early October, you may have the opportunity to try the famous \u201cBurger du Paradis\u201d! It\u2019s a unique recipe and a registered trademark that can only be tasted in the Beaujolais region at a specific event:\u00a0la F\u00eate du Paradis<\/a>. After the harvest, the village of Odenas (located at the foot of Mont Brouilly in the Beaujolais region) celebrates \u201cparadis\u201d wine, the still sweet, alcoholic juice that drains from Beaujolais presses. For over 40 years, Odenas\u2019s events committee has kept the tradition of this event alive. Among other things, they serve the \u201cBurger du Paradis\u201d, a delicious burger bun filled with saucisson cooked in left-over grape pulp, goat\u2019s cheese, \u201cparadis\u201d wine sauce and salad. To be enjoyed onsite, with a glass of \u201cparadis\u201d wine of course!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
