With cheese
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.
Chaource
Our pick A rosé Champagne sets red-berry fruit and fresh acidity against Chaource's salted, lactic paste and hazelnut, and its bubbles keep the cream from weighing on the palate.
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.
