With cheese
Soumaintrain
Local tradition Soumaintrain and Chablis share the Yonne. A regional produce site pairs a Chablis or Petit Chablis with younger cheeses and a premier cru with the most pronounced ones, the wine's acidity against the brine rind and milky paste.
Brillat-Savarin
Our pick The cheese is rich, with cream and fresh butter flavours. A premier cru Chablis, dry and high in acidity, cuts through the butterfat and keeps the cream from cloying.
