Rich Risotto, Full-Bodied Wine - NYTimes.com A dish this rich requires a similarly broad, full-bodied wine, like a sumptuous chardonnay, something from the Côte de Beaune, Pouilly-Fuissé, California or Oregon, even Australia, rather than a whipsaw Chablis or other lean example. Within that group, the best choices would be textured and mineral rather than overtly oaky or flamboyantly fruity. Beyond chardonnay, other options to consider include a good white Bordeaux from Pessac-Léognan, pinot blanc, pinot gris from Alsace or white Rhônes like Condrieu or Hermitage blanc.
