Fruitière du Hérisson ★ 3.6
Beaune outlet of the Jura cooperative Fruitière du Hérisson, open seven days. It sells Comté, Morbier, Tomme, Gex, raclette and Délice de Châlain, with Jura wines, cured meats, honey and jams.
Stall in the Dijon Halles run by maître fromager Sophie Greenbaum since 1983, selling raw milk Normandy cheeses and aged summer Comtés beside other French and European cheeses. Open on Halles market days.
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.
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.
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.
