Champagne

Interesting

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.

Why it works with Chicken With Champagne Sauce

Champagne's bubbles cut through Chicken With Champagne Sauce's richness; the brioche notes flatter roasted skin and crisp surfaces.

Champagne's still wines — the rarely-seen non-sparkling output of the region. Lean Chardonnay and angular Pinot Noir, always interesting.

Why it works with Chicken With Champagne Sauce

Coteaux Champenois and Chicken With Champagne Sauce make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Sparkling Saumur

Interesting

Sparkling · Light · Dry

A traditional-method sparkling wine — fine bubbles, brisk acid, citrus and toast. The all-purpose celebration wine; equally good as an aperitif.

Why it works with Chicken With Champagne Sauce

Champagne-method sparkling like Sparkling Saumur with Chicken With Champagne Sauce is the open secret of every great restaurant.

Vouvray

Classic

White · Medium · Off-dry

Chenin Blanc from the Loire — runs from sec (dry) through demi-sec (off-dry) to moelleux (sweet). The demi-sec is the cheat code for spicy food.
