Which wine with cheese?
Wine and cheese: nothing goes better together
Between the main course and dessert, it's hard to resist a piece of cheese! When the platter is large, there are always one or two varieties that catch our eye. We all have our favourite: soft cheese, dry cheese, blue cheese, there are so many!
Which wine with cheese?
As mentioned earlier, there are different types of cheese, each with its own specificities and the cheese/wine pairing can vary depending on the type of cheese.
- soft cheeses: Camembert / Brie / Maroilles / Munster. With soft cheeses, a white wine balanced between roundness and acidity, not too powerful, or an aromatic red wine with little tannin, should be preferred.
- blue-veined cheeses. Blue cheeses are very powerful cheeses, and are harder to pair with a wine because a sufficiently powerful wine (structure in the mouth and aromatic) is needed to balance this type of cheese. In our opinion, with a blue cheese we recommend maceration wines with a round body and chewiness, balanced by a high acidity. These are very aromatic wines. You can also go for semi-dry to sweet white wines with good acidity in addition to their sweetness (Loire wine/Jurancon)
- dry cheeses: St Nectaire / Cantal / Comté / Emmental / Reblochon. These cheeses, which are a little less strong, go very well with strong wines, which are quite mineral. White wines from Savoie or the Loire can be recommended.
