With 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.
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.
