 | Description: Made in a town with the same name since the early 14th century, Chaource is the most famous artisanal cheese from the Champagne region of France. This decadent cheese is delicious at any stage of ripeness and has a slight mushroom scent with a rich, creamy flavor. It is not dissimilar to Brie or Camembert, but it has an even creamier texture, especially when aged. The cheese is made in miniature wheels that give it an elegant appearance for service with Champagne. Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Wine Pairings:
| Cabernet Sauvignon: The creamy richness of the cheese plays so well with the big dark fruit flavors of the wine. The fattiness of the cheese needs a strong backbone and forceful tannins of a young Cabernet Sauvignon.
| |
| Sancerre: Sancerre's great mineral notes and balanced high acidy brings out the cream and light flower elements of the cheese.
