Roast chicken is a bit like the ultimate return from the market dish, friendly and comforting, in short a dish that pleases everyone with its tender flesh, its crispy skin, all flavored with aromatics. And there’s nothing better to accompany it than hash browns. And to enhance your spit-roasted or oven-roasted chicken, we’ll start with a powerful white with floral notes, with a tense finish to energize the mouth like a Vacqueyras Blanc.

When it comes to chicken, it’s impossible to ignore chicken Basquaise. This South-Western dish, soft and creamy after simmering in a sauce made from peppers, tomatoes and onions, all seasoned with Espelette pepper. As for wine, go for a deep and fruity red, like a Côtes Marmandais.

Let’s finish with a travel dish, a coconut chicken curry. The sweetness of the coconut milk and the spices require a dry, sharp white, but capable of playing with the spices. Rediscover the Gewurztraminer from Alsace, perfect for this role.
