Preparation

Step 1

Simmer for 30 minutes

Add crème fraîche to the pot

Simmer for another 30 minutes or until chicken pieces are very tender

Add the half wine glass of vin jaune and serve immediately.

Normally, due to the cost of Vin Jaune, this recipe is made with ordinary white wine. A glass of Vin Jaune wine is then added at the end to provide the distinctive taste and aroma to the dish. If you intend to drink the bottle of Vin Jaune, this is a perfectly acceptable and normal approach. However, if you don't intend to drink the bottle, you might as well use the entire bottle in this fashion. Although more expensive, I find using a full bottle of Vin Jaune, rather than merely adding a glass at the end, provides an even more exceptional flavour.
