Cheese with Domaine des Comtes Lafon wines

Chaource Our pick Chaource is creamy and lightly salted, with mushroom and cream notes. A village white from Meursault, Puligny or Chassagne, full-bodied and oak-aged with high acidity, is round enough for the cream and fresh enough to clean it. Village white from the Côte de Beaune (Meursault, Puligny, Chassagne), Burgundy: Meursault Village
Brillat-Savarin Our pick 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. Côte de Beaune grand cru white (Montrachet family, Corton-Charlemagne, Corton), Burgundy: Montrachet Grand Cru
Cîteaux Our pick 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. Beaune and Volnay premier cru Pinot Noir, Burgundy: Volnay Premier Cru Santenots-du-Milieu
