Saint-Marcellin
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.

Cervelle de canut
Our pick Chiroubles is a light, fresh Gamay cru with high acidity and little tannin. It suits the cool, lightly sharp fromage blanc with shallot and herbs, and its fruit does not fight the vinegar.
