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.
How to serve Chablis Premier Cru Montee de Tonnerre
Allow 35 minutes from open to pour.
- Open and decant. Open 30 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
- Serve at 10-12°C. Cellar temperature (10-12°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
- Glassware. Use a medium-sized white-wine glass: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
- Pair with. Chablis oysters, Quenelle de brochet sauce Nantua, Roast turbot in beurre blanc. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
