Wine and cheese

Cheese with Mourvedre

Every cheese
Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage Our pick Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds are warm, ripe southern wines with plenty of alcohol and fruit. That ripeness reads almost sweet against the salt and blue veins of a mild, creamy Vercors-Sassenage, and the cheese's fat rounds off the wine's tannin. Châteauneuf-du-Pape rouge, Rhone Valley: Hommage a Jacques Perrin · Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge · Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe La Crau Rouge
Poivre d'âne Our pick Poivre d'âne is sweet and fragrant, with a fine, tight paste and a coat of dried herbs. A pale, light-bodied rosé with citrus and red fruit refreshes without covering the winter savory. Androuet lists rosé de Provence for it. Pale, light-bodied Provence rosé (Côtes de Provence or IGP Méditerranée), Provence: Chateau Leoube Rose de Leoube
Pélardon Our pick accords-mets-vins.fr advises light, low-tannin reds for Pélardon, such as a young Saint-Chinian or a lightly extracted Faugères, and warns that a powerful or oaky red crushes it. A medium-bodied red raised mostly in concrete or old wood, with supple tannin, keeps the goat's milk in view. Supple Languedoc red, unoaked or in old wood, Languedoc: Côte d'Arbo · Belle Lurette · Madura Classic Rouge
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. Côtes-du-Rhône rouge, Rhone Valley: Domaine de Marcoux Cotes du Rhone · Famille Perrin Reserve Cotes du Rhone Rouge
Brousse du Rove Our pick Fresh brousse is tender, creamy and mild, so a light rosé is enough. A pale, light-bodied Provence rosé made in steel, with citrus and red fruit over high acidity, refreshes it. Androuet lists rosé de Provence for this cheese. Pale, light-bodied Provence rosé (Côtes de Provence or IGP Méditerranée), Provence: Chateau Leoube Rose de Leoube
Roquefort Our pick accords-mets-vins.fr says Roquefort tolerates a red where many cow's milk cheeses turn bitter with tannin. A medium-bodied Terrasses du Larzac red raised in large or used wood, with cherry or plum fruit, garrigue and fine tannin, has the grip to stand up to the salt. Terrasses du Larzac red, Languedoc: Autour de Jonquieres · Terre de Jonquieres · Les Etats d'Ame
