Saint-Félicien
Our pick Saint-Félicien is soft, rich and creamy under a white rind. Morgon, a Gamay cru with fresh acidity and some structure, gives the cream something to push against, so the pairing stays fresh rather than heavy.
Morgon, Beaujolais: Morgon Vieilles Vignes Cuvee Marylou · Morgon Saint-Joseph
Saint-Marcellin
Our pick Régnié is a fresh Gamay cru with high acidity and light to medium body. Against a creamy Saint-Marcellin with its dried fruit and honey notes, it brings freshness instead of weight.
