Wine and cheese

Provence cheese with Grenache Blanc

All Provence pairings
Banon Our pick A Palette blanc, mostly Clairette raised a year on its lees in old foudres, is full-bodied and waxy with fennel and salted-nut notes, enough weight for Banon's woody, creamy paste without sharp acidity. Palette blanc, Provence: Chateau Simone Palette Blanc
Tomme d'Arles Our pick Androuet quotes Larousse saying Camargue ewe's fresh cheeses are seasoned with thyme and bay. An Alpilles white raised in old oak, concrete or steel brings fennel, dried apricot and a saline edge that echo the herbs and freshen the paste.
