Cheese with Domaine Brusset wines
Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage
Our pick These Grenache-led southern Rhône reds are ripe and warm, with tannin that runs from soft to firm across the bottles. Their ripe fruit meets the salt of a mild, creamy blue like Vercors-Sassenage, and the cheese's fat softens the tannin.
Southern Rhône cru reds (Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Rasteau, Cairanne, Lirac), Rhone Valley: Domaine Brusset Gigondas Les Hauts de Montmirail · Domaine Brusset Cairanne Les Hauts de Montmirail Rouge · Domaine Brusset Cairanne
Picodon
Our pick The accords-mets-vins.fr guide picks Côtes-du-Rhône rouge for an aged Picodon, for its soft spice and generous fruit, and warns against powerful, tannic wines. These Grenache-led reds, raised in old foudres, keep tannin light enough for the cheese's dry, nutty paste.
