Brie is a very versatile cheese and pairs nicely with a multitude of wines. We recommend pairing this cheese with red wines such as Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Merlot, and Zinfandel. We also recommend paring this cheese with white wines such as Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc.

Featured Pairing: Champagne and Brie

The softer texture of triple-cream cheeses like Brie demands something sharp and acidic to cut through the fat. The high acid and pleasantly stinging bubbles of Champagne combine with Brie’s thick creaminess in a contrast that is very satisfying. Plus, that brioche flavor you get in traditional method sparklers adds a tasty bit of toastiness.
