With cheese

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.
