Fromage fort de la Croix-Rousse
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
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.
Beaujolais, red, Beaujolais: Beaujolais L'Ancien
Saint-Félicien
Our pick A creamy, lightly salted cow's milk cheese under a white bloom, on the Lyon cheese board according to French Wikipedia. Beaujolais Blanc, a fresh Chardonnay with high acidity, cuts the richness of the melting paste.
Beaujolais Blanc, Beaujolais: Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay
Saint-Marcellin
Our pick Côte de Brouilly is a Gamay cru from the slopes of Mont Brouilly, with high acidity and medium to firm tannin. A ripe, creamy Saint-Marcellin softens that grip, and the wine's acidity keeps the cheese's richness fresh.
Côte de Brouilly, Beaujolais: Côte de Brouilly
Rigotte de Condrieu
Our pick INAO's own match is the white wine of the neighbouring Condrieu AOP, which is not a Beaujolais wine. For a Beaujolais glass, a crisp, high-acid Beaujolais Blanc suits the hazelnut and whey notes of a small goat's cheese.
