Wine and cheese

Cheese with Grenache Blanc

Every cheese
Picodon Our pick Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc is a dry, round southern white of Grenache blanc, Roussanne or Clairette, with moderate acidity. Its weight stands next to the goaty tang and nutty, drier paste of an aged Picodon, where a lean white would be swamped. Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc, Rhone Valley: Chateau Rayas Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc · Clos des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc · Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe La Crau Blanc
Pérail Our pick Pérail is milky and sweet, with a melting, creamy paste under a felted rind. A southern white blend fermented or raised wholly or partly in barrel has the roundness to match the paste, and a saline, mineral finish that keeps each bite fresh. Languedoc white blend raised in oak, Languedoc: Les Cocalieres Blanc · Solus Blanc · L'Inattendu
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
Pélardon Our pick Pélardon is frank and slightly spicy. A Languedoc white blend kept in tank or concrete with no oak, built on grapes such as Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Vermentino or Viognier, gives clean acidity and peach or pear fruit that do not cover the goat's milk. Unoaked Languedoc white blend, Languedoc: Kalliope · Dame Jeanne Blanc · Domaine de la Vieille 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. Alpilles blanc, Provence: Domaine de Trevallon Blanc · Chateau Romanin Blanc
