Wine and cheese

Cheese with Roussanne

Every cheese
Saint-Marcellin Our pick On the advice of sommelier Sébastien Maucarré, the Saint-Marcellin consortium suggests Rhône whites such as Saint-Joseph. A Marsanne-Roussanne white has the weight to meet the soft style's dried-fruit, honey and cream notes. Saint-Joseph blanc, Rhone Valley: Saint-Joseph Blanc Les Oliviers · Saint-Joseph Les Granilites 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 · Madura Grand Vin Blanc
Tomme de Provence Our pick Tomme de Provence is creamy, with walnut and spice and a touch of acidity. A Provence white with part of the wine raised in old oak gains texture without vanilla, and its saline finish and fennel or almond notes sit beside the walnut. Provence white partly fermented or aged in old oak, Provence: Chateau de Pibarnon Nuances Blanc
Saint-Félicien Our pick The accords-mets-vins.fr guide names Crozes-Hermitage blanc first in its answer on white wines for this creamy, slightly milky cheese. A dry Marsanne-Roussanne white raised in used barrels cuts the richness without the heavy oak or sharp acidity the guide warns against. Crozes-Hermitage blanc, Rhone Valley: Crozes-Hermitage Clos des Grives Blanc · Crozes-Hermitage 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 · Allegro · Les Mûriers
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 · Domaine Hauvette Roucas Blanc · Chateau Romanin Blanc
