Beaujolais wine and cheese

Fromage fort de la Croix-Rousse with Beaujolais, red

Local tradition

French Wikipedia quotes the Inventaire du patrimoine culinaire de la France: in Lyon's bouchons the pot sat at the corner of the bar and was spread on toasted bread, accompanied by a beaujolais. A plain Gamay red suits its sharpness.

Cervelle de canut with Beaujolais, red

Our pick

The Observatoire des produits du terroir lists Beaujolais AOC and Coteaux-du-Lyonnais among the reds for it. The cool, herby fromage blanc wants a fresh, fruity Gamay with modest tannin that does not fight the vinegar.

Saint-Marcellin with Fleurie

Our pick

The consortium describes the soft Saint-Marcellin as creamy, with dried fruit, honey and cream notes. Fleurie, a Gamay cru with bright acidity and modest tannin, refreshes the palate between bites and leaves the cream alone.
