Chicken (Grilled/Roasted)
What Wine Goes With Chicken (Grilled/Roasted)
Our Favourite Pairings
Chardonnay
– Perfect with roast chicken & herb seasoning.
Pinot Noir
– Smooth and elegant with grilled or roast chicken.
Why It Works
Chicken has a mild, versatile flavour that pairs beautifully with both white and lighter red wines.
Chardonnay complements roast chicken with its rich texture and subtle oak, while Pinot Noir offers bright fruit and gentle tannins that enhance grilled or herb-seasoned dishes.
The cooking method and seasonings often determine the best wine pairing.
BIN 104 Tip:
Think beyond the chicken itself. Lemon and herb seasonings pair beautifully with Chardonnay, while smoky grilled chicken and mushroom-based dishes are excellent with Pinot Noir.
When in doubt, choose your wine to complement the sauce and seasoning rather than the meat alone.
