• Recommended Cheese Pairings

  goat cheese (chèvre)!
  A fresh, tangy Chenin Blanc + goat cheese combination is classic, as the wine’s acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese while enhancing its citrusy tang.
  
  You can also try...
  
  Brie or Camembert. These soft, creamy cheeses with their mild, buttery flavors pair well with the wine's fruitiness and acidity. The richness of the cheese is balanced by the wine's crispness.
