Champagne Bureau UK have selected our top picks of London’s Best Burgers paired with various styles of Champagne (each taken from the restaurants’ wine menus).
Pairing Champagne with burgers may not be the first wine choice that comes to mind, but here is why Champagne is the perfect match to celebrate National Burger Day this year:
- J. Sheeky – Shrimp & Soft-Shell Crab Burger with Korean Spiced Mayo
Rosé NV – the luscious fruit of a Rosé Champagne is an exquisite pairing with exotic spices and Asian cuisine and is perfect for when the dish has a bit of a kick! The sweetness of the shrimp and crab, alongside the red berries and bright acidity in this Champagne would be a mouthwatering combination
- CUT at 45 Park Lane – Australian Wagyu Beef Burger with Onion and Aged Cheddar
Blanc de Noirs NV or BdN Vintage – With a sumptuous, and rich dish like this Wagyu burger, only a Blanc de Noirs, with its juicy dark fruits, crystalline structure, and mouth-filling texture could match it. If there ever was an occasion to elevate a wine pairing with the complexities and intensity of a Vintage Champagne, this would be it
- Fallow – Plant based, Hen of the Wood Burger Topped with Crispy Mushroom, Burger Sauce, Shallot in a Brioche Bun
Brut NV – Champagne and umami are perfect partners. The fruity, crisp & nutty characteristics from any Brut NV will harmonise and dance on the tongue with the salty, savory, mushroomy flavours of this dish
- Boisadale Belgravia – Free Range Yorkshire Chicken Burger with Lemon-Tarragon Mayo, Dill Pickles, Red Onion, Beef Tomato
Blanc de Blancs NV – It may not be the most recognised pairing, but Blanc de Blancs champagne and a chicken burger is a must! The cool chardonnay acidity cuts through the juicy chicken, the soft brioche and herby mayo go hand in hand with the champagne, whilst the fine bubbles complement the crunch of the pickles
