Cheese with Domaine des Chers wines
Charolais
Our pick 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.
Juliénas, Beaujolais: Julienas
Arôme de Lyon
Our pick The Observatoire des produits du terroir pairs Arôme de Lyon with whites such as Condrieu or Saint-Joseph and lighter reds such as Beaujolais. A fruity Beaujolais-Villages red echoes the winey notes of its pomace-coated rind.
