Wine and cheese

Cheese with Chasselas

Every cheese
Raclette du Valais Local tradition Swiss Wine Valais ranks Fendant first with Gamay for raclette: one taster wants a dry, tight white that refreshes the palate, and ambassador Eddy Baillifard stays on Fendant or Gamay for a young village raclette of 3 to 5 months. Fendant (Chasselas), Valais: Fendant La Liaudisaz · Fendant Uvrier · La Madeleine Fendant de Vetroz Grand Cru
Walliser Hobelkäse Our pick The consortium's alternative to a red is a fruity Valais white, Fendant or Johannisberg: the cheese is medium salty with a sour note, and a fresh white keeps thin shavings from tiring the palate. Fendant and Johannisberg, Valais: Fendant La Liaudisaz · Fendant Uvrier · La Madeleine Fendant de Vetroz Grand Cru
Walliser Schnittkäse Our pick A young cut cheese is milky and fresh with a sour, plant and fruit edge. A dry Fendant has the same quiet freshness, so the Chasselas matches the cheese without overpowering its smooth, supple paste. Fendant (Chasselas), Valais: Fendant La Liaudisaz · Fendant Uvrier · La Madeleine Fendant de Vetroz Grand Cru
Tomme du Valais Our pick A six-week tomme is milky and fresh with a smooth, supple paste. A dry, fresh Fendant, quiet in aroma and moderate in acidity, is the match that leaves the small mountain cheese in charge. Fendant (Chasselas), Valais: Fendant La Liaudisaz · Fendant Uvrier · La Madeleine Fendant de Vetroz Grand Cru
