Burgers don't necessarily mean American junk food ! Indeed, you can easily prepare very good homemade burgers with beautiful products.
In association with the cooking site Nini's frichtis, here we offer you a new wine pairing and homemade burger recipe, including bread !
The challenges of the wine and house burger pairing
The homemade burger is a convivial dish that we will gladly eat with friends or with family. Its interest lies in the fact that it can be adapted to our desires by adding or removing ingredients..
Fast food purists will obviously accompany it with fries. Others will prefer the freshness of the salad. Still others would like to offer a homemade coleslaw.
For this food and wine pairing, we will focus on the essentials : the marriage of a good hamburger and a beautiful wine for a pairing of good times.
What food and wine pairings with our homemade burger recipe ?
Minced meat from the butcher, a soft homemade bread, a slightly spicy sauce and above all a lot of simplicity.
The preparation of this homemade burger recipe is an opportunity to indulge yourself with a wine with a thirst-quenching fruitiness. Obviously, it will need enough power, without being overwhelming. This recipe offers great opportunities for pairing with red wines.
The burger is a dish that combines many flavors. For it, wines with too much complexity or too tannic should be avoided. Favor the preserved fruitiness of a well-made young wine with freshness and density in the mouth to compensate for the richness of the burger.
Some great wine ideas to taste
To find beautiful aromas of black fruits and a light thirst-quenching freshness on the finish., a varietal wine Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot des Pays d'Oc will be good allies. Like me, you can also easily fall in love with the fruity aromas and spicy notes of a Beautifully crafted Cahors Malbec – always taking care to choose a wine without heaviness and with freshness at the end of the mouth -.
For more freshness, while keeping a beautiful structure, why not play the originality card ? A Bordeaux Clairet or a Tavel rosé wine will allow you to offer a fresh wine for tasting to compensate for the warm richness of the burger.
You can also opt for a meal in American colors with a famous Pinot Noir or a Napa Valley Merlot.
Whatever selection you make, you should not choose a wine that is too powerful so as not to weigh down the marriage. A light and fresh wine will pair wonderfully with this dish.
My selection
For my part, this burger recipe was an opportunity to savor the L’Envie cuvée from Château Haut-Monplaisir.
What's coming no added sulfite from the Cahors appellation presents a lively fruitiness with aromas specific to Malbec of blackcurrant and generous prune. It offers very nice spicy nuances that highlight the grilled meat..
With a rich bouquet, it offers us a long finish, freshly minty, welcome for this accord. The tannins present in this organic wine are melted into an aromatic whole
It is a lively wine with a beautiful soul. He definitely couldn't have a better name than "Envy" …
To avoid !
For this hamburger recipe, avoid white wines. Indeed, the lightness of their structure, as well as the absence of tannins will make this accord somewhat wobbly.
