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.
Soumaintrain and Chablis share the Yonne. A regional produce site pairs a Chablis or Petit Chablis with younger cheeses and a premier cru with the most pronounced ones, the wine's acidity against the brine rind and milky paste.
A white option. Village Chablis, light and racy, cuts the creamy paste, though the Burgundy wine board warns that a washed-rind Époisses can overpower any wine, so a small portion works best.
