With this tasty Alpine cheese the go-to pairing is a refreshing fruity dry white – anything labeled Bordeaux Blanc will do the trick – but look for a little more Semillon in the blend add a delicious complementing texture to this cheese snack – or a dry white from the Côtes such as Blaye or Francs with some spicy Sauvignon Gris will also work perfectly.

A right bank Merlot dominant red from Saint Emilion makes a tasty different airing here. The plush fleshy tannins and ‘fruitcake’ medley of flavors make for a delightful contrast to the cool cucumber and nutty-salty taste of the cheese.
