Chicken Dijon Grilled on a Bed of Thyme

Herbs, mustard, scallions and a sweet touch of paprika come together in this recipe lending subtle yet assertive flavors to an otherwise simple preparation. This just screams out for a Sauvignon Blanc, and one that’s not too fruity yet one that celebrates the herbal nature intrinsic in Sauvignon Blanc. What else but Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc would work perfectly here? Herbal with a hint of chile over a base of firm citrus fruits, that’s just what you need to work with this French inspired recipe.

Two to try:

Pascal Jolivet Pouilly Fume ($24)

Jean Reverdy Sancerre la Reine Blanche ($24)
