With cheese

Bleu des Causses Our pick Bleu des Causses is intense and creamy. A dry Crémant de Limoux, made sparkling in bottle from Chardonnay and Chenin with a little Mauzac or Pinot Noir, brings apple and citrus, fine bubbles and high acidity that cut the cream and reset the palate between bites.
