A non-vintage brut Champagne's high acidity and fine mousse cut through Chaource's salted, creamy paste and leave its mushroom and hazelnut clear. The cheese comes from the Aube, which also grows Champagne.
A rosé Champagne with vinous red fruit and some weight can sit beside a washed rind, and its fruit answers the yoghurt-and-cream note the Langres consortium describes.
With no dosage, a zero-sugar Champagne has nothing to blur the mushroom and hazelnut of a young Chaource. Its high acidity and fine bubbles lift the salted, creamy paste.
Address: ZAE Champ Miolin, 52190 Vaux-sous-Aubigny, Champagne
