Burgundy wine and cheese

Mâconnais with Mâconnais Chardonnay (Mâcon-Villages, Pouilly-Fuissé)

Local tradition

The syndicate recommends a Mâconnais Chardonnay or a Mâcon red. A white matches the cheese's milky, buttery youth and its hazelnut and hay notes with age, without overwhelming a 30 to 40 g cheese.

Brillat-Savarin with Crémant de Bourgogne

Local tradition

The Burgundy wine board gives Crémant de Bourgogne its top rating for this triple cream. Bubbles and acidity cut through the butterfat and reset the palate after each bite.

Charolais with Viré-Clessé (Chardonnay)

Local tradition

The Burgundy wine board gives Viré-Clessé its top rating for Charolais. A Chardonnay of ripe fruit suits a creamy goat cheese with notes of grass, hay, hazelnut and butter.
