Great with roast chicken...

Classic roast chicken will pair equally well with a smooth white wine as well as with a lighter red but it really depends on the flavourings / stuffing and the additional sides being served. The basic principle is that you don’t want to overpower the dish; a wine with too much ripe fruit and tannins will mask the flavours.

If it’s served simply with its own roasting juices then a lightly oaked white Burgundy (like a 1er Cru Chablis or Pouilly – Fuisse) will be the winner as it’s not too overpowering for the delicate flavour.

Lighter red wines with good acidity can make a delicious alternative, especially if there is a richer, savoury gravy served alongside. Red Burgundy or a New World Pinot Noir would be delicious. One of our favourite roast chicken parings in with no doubt this stunning Pinot from Little Beauty in Marlborough, New Zealand.
