What wine goes with chicken?
Chicken goes with many wines. The sauce often matters more than the meat. With chicken in a creamy sauce or with mushrooms, Chardonnay is the classic, such as a white Burgundy. With roast chicken or chicken with herbs, Pinot Noir works well: light and full of fruit. In the Jura they eat chicken in vin jaune, with the same wine in the glass.
