Coq au Chardonnay

It’s no secret that the much-adored French dish ‘coq au vin’ has taken various wine routes all the way through from Cabernet to Riesling (arguably, nothing can compete with Nigel Slater’s version), but my preference is for the creaminess of Chardonnay. And where we end up is with a one-pot wonder that can stand up and be counted with the best of them.
