White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.

Chardonnay matches chicken's mild richness — oaked for roast, unoaked for poached.

Clean white that lets salad ingredients stay center stage.
Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Light red that flatters chicken without overwhelming it — the all-purpose poultry pairing.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Dry rosé bridges chicken across preparations from grilled to roasted to fried.

Crisp white that lifts lighter chicken preparations with herbs and citrus.
