Bordeaux wine and cheese
Ossau-Iraty with Merlot-led red from Fronsac and Canon-Fronsac
Our pickThese Merlot-led Fronsac and Canon-Fronsac reds have medium body and tannin with cherry or blackcurrant fruit. The cheese has a firm, melting paste that INAO describes as salted without excess, with hazelnut often present.
Ossau-Iraty with Cabernet-led Pauillac, full-bodied with firm tannin
Our pickThese Pauillac reds are Cabernet Sauvignon-led, full-bodied, with firm to high tannin, high acidity and blackcurrant fruit. INAO describes the cheese as firm and melting, salted without excess. Its syndicate suggests structured reds, naming South-West ones such as Madiran.
Ossau-Iraty with Sauternes, noble-rot sweet white
Our pickThese Sauternes are sweet, high in acidity and full-bodied, with apricot and honey notes. INAO calls the cheese salted without excess and often hazelnutty, so sweet fruit meets salt and nut.
