Coq au vin, /ˌkoʊk oʊ ˈvæn/ (French "rooster with wine") is a French braise of chicken cooked with wine, lardons, mushrooms, and optionally garlic.
While the wine is typically Burgundy, many regions of France have variants of coq au vin using the local wine, such as coq au vin jaune (Jura), coq au Riesling (Alsace), coq au pourpre (Beaujolais nouveau), coq au Champagne, and so on.
