What goes with Burgundy Wine?
Dry red Burgundy contributes fruit, acidity and a moderate tannic structure to cooking. Its water, ethanol, organic acids, fruit aromas and phenolic material behave differently during cooking. Appellation, vintage and oak treatment vary; a sensory score represents a moderately expressive, balanced bottle rather than every Burgundy wine.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Burgundy Wine?
Use the wine where its fruit and acidity can meet savoury meat juices, mushrooms or a soft egg yolk. Choose relatively supple wine for a delicate sauce and control concentration before salting. A sweet aromatic vegetable can round the result, but it cannot rescue an excessively bitter or oxidised bottle.
