With cheese

Saint-Félicien Our pick Saint-Félicien is soft, rich and creamy under a white rind. Morgon, a Gamay cru with fresh acidity and some structure, gives the cream something to push against, so the pairing stays fresh rather than heavy.

How to serve Morgon Delys

Allow 65 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and decant. Open 60 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
  2. Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Grilled pork chop with Dijon mustard, Tarte flambee (flammekueche), Lentil soup with smoked sausage. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
