Chapon de Bresse must be at least 8 months old and have spent 7 months in the fields. Although its flesh is tender, it is nonetheless a poultry with character. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There are many possible recipes for this rooster, but the best-known is capon au vin jaune.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Yellow wine in a nutshell.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">A magnificent wine produced in the Jura region, vin jaune, also known as vin de voile, is aged for 6 years and 3 months in barrels without \"ouillage\" (the act of filling the barrel following the angels' share). \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The result is a wine that has \"taken to the air\" and will be oxidized, with good acidity. It is made from Savagnin grapes, which, combined with yeast, give it nutty notes. It is difficult to drink this wine with a meal because of its high acidity, but it will be interesting to pair it with pressed cooked or uncooked cheeses or, for the adventurous, in small doses with foie gras. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\" lang=\"fr-FR\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chateau-chalon\/cote-du-jura-sous-voile-2015-domaine-macle.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffc000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">C\u00f4te du Jura 2015 - Domaine Macle\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"western\" lang=\"fr-FR\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jean Macle produces his wines in the Burgundian style. He enjoys a similar terroir with limestone soil, which brings structure and minerality to his wines. His C\u00f4te du Jura is a blend of Chardonnay with a small amount of Savagnin. Remember this? That grape used to make vin jaune! So you'll find the finesse of Chardonnay with its floral aromas mingling with the nutty notes of Savagnin.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1 class=\"western\" lang=\"fr-FR\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">A \"little yellow wine\" that will serve as a reminder of the yellow wine sauce.<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #212529;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/weinbach\/riesling-schlossberg-2019-domaine-weinbach.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffc000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Segoe UI, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Alsace Grand Cru - Riesling Schlossberg 2019 - Domaine Weinbach\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"western\" lang=\"fr-FR\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Bear in mind that you need a rich, powerful wine to counteract the strength of the poultry and yellow wine. A Grand Cru Riesling will do the trick. Domaine Weinbach is renowned for producing taut, powerful wines with no residual sugar, which is perfect for keeping this tension in addition to the wine's empyreumatic aromas, to which are added notes of spice and stone fruit.
