If there\u2019s a chicken in the room, you may want to angle the monitor away from them. That\u2019s because dry white burgundy wine<\/strong> makes their flesh so much more delicious, and buying a bottle is a great excuse to fire up the oven for some tasty plates of poultry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The main white grape to come from Burgundy is Chardonnay<\/a>. What\u2019s more, the most popular way of preparing chicken is to roast it, and that means the chicken\u2019s flavours are intensified in the oven. Happily, Chardonnay produces wines with tropical fruit flavours<\/a>. What\u2019s more Burgundian winemakers often develop these flavours by maturing the Chardonnay in oak, which changes the character considerably. It takes on creamy, buttery, toasty notes that pair well with roasted flavours, stock, and white sauces.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, the Burgundy region is very diverse. That means there\u2019s a wine to suit each part of the chicken, as for instance the Chablis area creates wine with less flavour, more acidity and lighter body. That\u2019s great for delicate breast meat. Meanwhile, Chardonnay from C\u00f4te d\u2019Or is full bodied and positively overflowing with flavour, which is great for thigh or wing meat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n While I\u2019m discussing how to get the most from your Chardonnay, it\u2019s worth noting that the kind of glass you drink it from will also alter the experience. \u2018Burgundy\u2019 wine glasses are designed for exactly that kind of wine. At INVINIC, we have a range of glasses to suit several different kinds of wine, and you can see how the shapes change between the recommended varieties. The Riedel Sommeliers Chablis-Chardonnay<\/a> glass has a wide bowl which allows more of the aroma to collect above the wine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019ve liked hearing about dry white Burgundy, there are other regions producing the same style of white wine. In fact, Spain produces a few versions of white Burgundy:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019ve discovered a love of Burgundy\u2019s finest grape, there\u2019s more to learn. Read \u2018Chardonnay is a lot more versatile than you think<\/a>\u2019, and find out where else Chardonnay makes an appearance in the world of wine.<\/p>\nWhy Dry White Burgundy Wine Pairs So Well with Chicken<\/strong><\/h2>\n
