Juliénas is a Gamay cru with high acidity and medium tannin, firm enough for an aged goat cheese. Charolais has a firm, smooth paste with hay, hazelnut and butter notes that the wine frames rather than covers.
The Burgundy wine board's top pick for Charolais is Viré-Clessé, a white from outside Beaujolais. A fruity Brouilly, a Gamay cru, also suits the firm, creamy goat paste: its acidity and red fruit lift the hay and hazelnut notes.
Address: La Grandouze, 69870 Claveisolles, Beaujolais
