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.
A triple cream with a pronounced lactic taste and flavours of cream and fresh butter. A Côte de Beaune grand cru white, full-bodied and oak-aged with high acidity and a long finish, carries that fat without going flat.
Brillat-Savarin is a triple cream with flavours of cream and fresh butter. A premier cru white from the Côte de Beaune, full-bodied and oak-aged with high acidity, has the weight for the butterfat and the acidity to stop it cloying.
