Cîteaux is a mild, fruity pressed cheese with a pasture taste. A Beaune or Volnay premier cru, medium-bodied with bright acidity and moderate tannin, lets the cheese stay in front.
Cîteaux is a mild, fruity pressed cheese, close to a small Reblochon. A village Pinot Noir from the Côte d'Or, medium-bodied with bright acidity and moderate tannin, meets its supple paste without burying the pasture taste.
