quel vin boire avec du poulet ?
Enhance your chicken by choosing the right wine for each preparation: a crisp, fresh white (unwooded Chardonnay, Sauvignon or Viognier) to bring out the tenderness of roasted, grilled or sauce-covered poultry; a light, delicate rosé (Provence or Tavel) to bring freshness and subtlety to cold or spicy dishes; a fruity, supple red (Pinot Noir d'Alsace, Gamay Beaujolais) to accompany grilled or mustard-flavored poultry; and, for an exceptional touch, fine bubbles (Crémant de Loire, Champagne) on crispy chicken or the boldness of a Vin jaune du Jura with a casserole dish.

What Wine to Pair with Chicken?
A staple of French cuisine, chicken can be prepared in countless ways: roasted, grilled, in sauce, spiced, or stuffed. To enhance its flavors, choosing the right wine is essential. Thanks to its tender and lean meat, chicken pairs well with light red wines, aromatic white wines, or even flavorful rosés, depending on the recipe and side dishes. At Avenue des Vins, we’ve selected the best bottles to answer a frequently asked question: What wine should you drink with chicken?
Which Red Wine to Drink with Chicken?
Red wine can be an excellent choice—provided you go for smooth, low-tannin wines that won’t overpower the delicacy of the poultry.
- With roast chicken, opt for a Pinot Noir from Burgundy or the Loire, a Beaujolais, or a light Côtes-du-Rhône.
- With curried or spiced chicken, a fruity, warm red wine from Languedoc works wonderfully.
- For Basque-style chicken (Poulet Basquaise), choose a refined, elegant red like a Chinon or Saumur. For a regional match, wines from Southwest France are also a great fit.
Which White Wine to Drink with Chicken?
White wine is often a safe and successful pairing with chicken, especially for saucy recipes or gentle cooking methods.
- A lightly oaked Chardonnay from Burgundy pairs perfectly with creamy chicken dishes or morel mushroom sauces.
- For lemon chicken or roast chicken with thyme, go for a dry and lively white like a Sauvignon Blanc or a Loire Chenin (such as AOC Vouvray).
- Southern white wines, like Viognier or Costières de Nîmes Blanc, are ideal with Mediterranean-style chicken dishes with olives.
Which Rosé Wine to Drink with Chicken?
Rosé wine is a great middle ground, especially in summer. It pairs beautifully with:
- Grilled, marinated chicken on the barbecue
- Cold chicken salad
- Spicy or exotic chicken-based dishes
