Why we love the cheese:
Beloved triple cream Brillat Savarin has been a staple of our cheese case for as long as we care to remember. The epitome of luxurious, decadent, and delicious, this beauty from Normandy is bold enough to enjoy on its own and easy-going enough to play well with others.
Why we love the wine:
Three Wine Company’s Faux Pas red blend is light fruity and fresh. An enticing magenta color, this wine is super drinkable and food-friendly with nice acidity and low tannins.
Why we love this pairing:
Together, the buttery Brillat and bright red blend bring out the fruitiness in each other, reminiscent of berries and cream. The wine gives longevity to the cheese both texturally and in flavor, while the cheese mellows out some of the sharper edges of the wine.
What else you should do with it
Speaking of berries and cream, enjoy your Brillat Savarin and Faux Pas red with your favorite berries for dessert! Raspberries and blueberries go particularly well. If you want to go the extra step, spread some Brillat on a toasted piece of brioche and top with fresh berries and honey. The light and acidic red blend will go perfectly.
