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.
Mâconnais is a small goat's cheese, milky and buttery when young, turning to hazelnut and hay with age. A Chardonnay from Montagny, Rully or Mercurey, with high acidity and fair weight, meets it without covering those notes.
