Mediterranean Grilled Chicken with a Bandol Rosé #winePW

An easy and tasty Mediterranean Grilled Chicken recipe is even better when paired with a Bandol rosé wine!

an easy marinade makes for tasty Mediterranean Grilled Chicken.

This Mediterranean Grilled Chicken recipe definitely started with the wine.

I sampled a bit of the current vintage of the Domaine Suffrene Bandol Rosé and it seemed to me the perfect expression of a good rosé. Ripe melon flavors that just say summer in a glass. I grabbed a bottle without a specific food plan for it. But then I realized we had the rosé themed Wine Pairing Weekend coming up, hosted by Lori at Draecana Wines.

So what food to pair with a Bandol rosé? The Bandol appellation in Provence features steep hillsides sloping to the sea. Seafood is certainly one natural food to pair with a Bandol rosé. But grilled chicken was another suggestion I came across, so I decided to go in that direction.

Mediterranean Grilled Chicken recipe

When making Grilled Chicken Broccoli and Garlic Penne recently, I made a simple marinade for the chicken for the chicken that added a nice flavor. I decided to repurpose that blend of basil, garlic and olive oil for this easy Mediterranean Grilled Chicken. We even got a thumbs up from our discerning twelve year old, so I would say this grilled chicken recipe is a keeper!

Bandol Rosé with Mediterranean Grilled Chicken

Domaine La Suffrene, located on a high hilltop in the Bandol appellation of Provence, started making their own wines in 1966. Previously they had sold their grapes to cooperatives. The vineyard features 70 year old Cinsault and 50 year old Mourvedre vines.

Domaine La Suffrene Bandol Rose pairs well with grilled chicken.

The 2016 Domaine La Suffrence Rosé ($25, 13.5% ABV) is a blend of Mourvedre, Cinsault, Grenache and Carignan. Taste of melon fruit and some underlying minerality. Definitely one of my favorite rosés, and as expected, this wine was a great pairing for our Mediterranean Grilled Chicken!

    This pairing looks like a sure-thing! I’m also thinking a second night meal as a salad with leftovers would be fun. Leftover wine from Bandol? Maybe not! None leftover!

    Cheers!

      There would definitely need to be 2 bottles to have the salad pairing the next day!

    Love your food and wine pairing David! One of the things I adore about rose is its diversity and Bandol offers a bit more ‘weight” for more substantial dishes! Cheers!
