With cheese
Cœur de Massif
Our pick Cœur de Massif is a mild, supple, creamy cooked-pressed cheese. A Pinot Gris with some body, dry or lightly off-dry, matches that weight and creaminess without drowning the paste's gentle flavour.
Munster
Our pick Pinot Gris, dry or lightly off-dry, has the body to keep pace with Munster's supple, unctuous paste without the perfume of Gewurztraminer. It suits a young, mild cheese better than an old, runny one.
