Wine and cheese

Cheese with Pinot Meunier

Every cheese
Chaource Our pick A non-vintage brut Champagne's high acidity and fine mousse cut through Chaource's salted, creamy paste and leave its mushroom and hazelnut clear. The cheese comes from the Aube, which also grows Champagne. Brut Champagne, Champagne: Bereche Brut Reserve · Pol Roger Brut Reserve · Deutz Brut Classic
Spundekäs Our pick The fine mousse and high acidity of a dry traditional-method Sekt, 36 to 60 months on lees, cut the richness of the cream quark and answer the paprika. Traditional-method dry Sekt, 36 to 60 months on lees (white), Rheinhessen: Pinot Reserve Brut
Brie de Meaux Our pick A non-vintage brut's acidity and bubbles cut Brie de Meaux's butter and cream and leave its hazelnut clear, so each bite of the rich, supple paste stays fresh. Brut Champagne, Champagne: Bereche Brut Reserve · Pol Roger Brut Reserve · Deutz Brut Classic
Langres Our pick A rosé Champagne with vinous red fruit and some weight can sit beside a washed rind, and its fruit answers the yoghurt-and-cream note the Langres consortium describes. Rosé Champagne, Champagne: Bollinger Rose
Brie de Melun Our pick Melun is stronger and slightly saltier than Meaux, so it takes a fuller brut. A full-bodied Champagne with high acidity has the weight to match it, and its bubbles cut the richer paste. Full-bodied Brut Champagne, Champagne: Krug Grande Cuvee · Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve · Bollinger Special Cuvee Brut
Cendré de Champagne Our pick Supertoinette says the ash-coated cheese tastes of Brie with a small smoky note. A rosé Champagne's red-berry fruit and fresh acidity meet that note and cut through the soft paste. Rosé Champagne, Champagne: Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose · Bollinger Rose · Veuve Clicquot Brut Rose
