This color is gorgeous in person! My sister had this color as an accent color in her kitchen/living area so I buy her all the Staub pieces in this color and she absolutely crazy about it. The Coc au Vin is a great cocotte for making Coq au Vin of course, but you can make a whole chicken in this and the vegetables too. I use this one quite often and love it too.
I love that this pot is big enough to fit an entire chicken because of it's oval shape! Also, the lid has little nubs to evenly distribute condensation, so it is self basting. The fact that it is enameled cast iron makes it naturally non-stick with no chemicals and no fussy upkeep, like normal cast iron. The knob on top is so cute being a little chicken. I also love that cast iron is great at heating evenly and maintaining heat well.
This blue is stunning! My daughter bought me this for Mother's Day one year and it has quickly become one of my favorite cocottes. I do make coq au vin it too! It is the perfect size for family gatherings be it at the holidays or your Sunday dinner. The self-basting lid produces moist and tender results for what could be not so moist and tender if left to cook without basting. The dark enamel interior cleans up so easily, even after long braises in the oven or on top of the stove. I use this cocotte for many dishes and take it directly from the oven/stove to the table. It makes such a great presentation!

Matte black is my favortie color, I have a few colors in other Staub pieces that I like to mix with the black. It looks so rustic to me and I like to keep it out on the stove!

The weight makes it great. Heats quickly then holds it as long as you need. Size is perfect for 2 or 10. Tiny spikes beneath lid distributes moisture thru entire vessel.
