LE CHAUDRON MARIE VACHERIN MONT DOR @375G (COW/P/NV)

This famous seasonal cheese is produced from the summer milk of the cows, who in the past didn?t yield enough milk to make comte, so the farmers developed a small cheese to fit the low milk yield. This delicious cheese is made both in Switzerland (under the name of Vacherin Mont D?or) and in France (under the name Mont D?or or Vacherin du Haut-Doubs). The Vacherin has to mature very slowly to coax out all the intricate flavour and to end up with a creamy rather than runny paste. The paste is covered with a wrinkled reddish rind, covered with a downy white mould, and its flavour is very creamy and nutty. What to drink with this Vacheron Mont`dor? Partner with a crisp, Jura white like Savagnin, Vin Jaune, C?tes du Jura, or or Dry Riesling to cut through the rich, creamy cheese.
