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.
Fleurie, Beaujolais: Fleurie Château des Jacques
Arôme de Lyon
Our pick Arôme de Lyon is a soft disc with slightly winey notes under a pomace coat. Moulin-à-Vent, a structured Gamay cru, has the tannin and acidity to stand beside that rind and the creamy paste.
Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais: Moulin-à-Vent Château des Jacques
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.
