Type of Milk: Cow
Where is it Produced: France
Wine Pairings:
| Vouvray: The mineral aspects of this French white match well with the similiar flavors of the cheese. There might even be some chalky tastes to both.
| |
| Pinot Blanc: This crisp, acidic, and citrus like zing of the Pinot Blanc and the Brie give a refreshing experience.
| |
| Champagne: The creamy nature and deep flavors of the Brie make a nice contrast to the bubbles and crispness of Champange as well as sparkling wine.
