Wine and cheese – one of the oldest and most popular combinations in the world. The right pairing enhances the flavors of both components, creating a harmonious taste experience or creating exciting contrasts. But which wines pair best with which cheese?

Which wines go with which cheese?

Generally speaking, mild, creamy cheeses pair particularly well with fruity white wines, while mature and spicy cheeses are often paired with full-bodied red or sweet wines. Sparkling wines, with their fresh acidity, can also be a wonderful complement to certain cheeses.

Classic and exciting pairings

• Soft cheeses (e.g. Brie, Camembert): Fresh white wines such as Chardonnay or a light Pinot Noir.
• Hard cheese (e.g. Comté, Parmesan): Strong red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon or a full-bodied white wine.
• Blue cheese (e.g. Roquefort, Gorgonzola): Sweet wines such as Sauternes or port provide exciting contrasts.
• Goat cheese: Dry, fresh white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc or a young Riesling.
