accords-mets-vins.fr suggests Picpoul de Pinet for a more aged Pélardon, saying its saline finish picks up the cheese's lactic, slightly hazelnut notes. Raised in tank with no oak, Picpoul is dry and high in acidity, so it cleans the paste without covering the goat's milk.
The sweetness and grapey perfume of a Muscat vin doux naturel from Frontignan or Lunel set off Roquefort's salt and sharp blue, the sugar rounding the bite of the mould. accords-mets-vins.fr also points to sweet Languedoc-Roussillon wines with this cheese.
INAO describes Pérail as milky, with notes of sheep's wool, under a slightly felted rind over a creamy paste. A Limoux white, fermented or raised in oak in the cool upper Aude, has the roundness to match that creaminess and the acidity to lift it.
Address: 16 rue du Faubourg de la Saunerie, 34000 Montpellier, Languedoc
