Wines to drink with a burger

Burgers have become a staple dish worldwide. When prepared with care and quality ingredients, they can sometimes rise to the level of fine French cuisine. But which wine should you choose to elevate this generous and indulgent recipe? Discover our selection of wines to pair with your homemade burger, whether it's made with beef, chicken, or even vegetarian ingredients.

Which red wine to drink with a beef burger?

A beef burger pairs perfectly with a fruity and generous red wine. An AOC Côtes du Rhône or a wine from Languedoc-Roussillon brings the warmth and richness needed to harmonize with the juicy beef and melting cheese. For a more structured pairing with aged meat, opt for a Bordeaux red such as an AOC Médoc or AOC Saint-Émilion. These wines, with their round tannins and red fruit notes, balance the flavors of the beef while adding body.

Which white wine to drink with a chicken burger?

A chicken burger goes well with a dry and fruity white wine. For a breaded chicken burger, a wine from Provence, like an AOC Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, is perfect with its white flower and white-fleshed fruit notes. This type of white wine balances the crispiness of the chicken and the softness of melted cheese. If your burger is more exotic, such as with a curry sauce, Alsace whites like Gewurztraminer or Pinot Gris bring freshness and fruitiness, creating a perfect pairing with the spices of the dish.

Which wine to drink with a vegetarian burger?

For a vegetarian burger made with vegetables, tofu, or soy, a light and fruity red wine like a Beaujolais is an excellent choice. The soft tannins and red fruit aromas complement the texture and vegetal flavors.
