Wines for Soft Cheeses
Wine for soft cheeses is a type of wine that is ideally paired with cheeses such as Roquefort, Camembert, Boursault, Brie, Coulommiers and Chevre. It is usually a light red wine or dry white wine, such as a Pinot Noir, Gamay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling or Chenin Blanc that can accompany the flavors and aromas of soft cheeses. It is important to choose a wine for soft cheeses that has a good balance of acidity, sugar and alcohol to maximize the taste of the dishes. Light, fruity red wines are particularly popular with soft cheeses with bloomy rinds, and dry white wines with milder soft cheeses.
