Good wine pairings for Saint-Nectaire

Posted on July 20 2014 at 07:07

Having spent a few days in the Auvergne recently and eaten more than my fair share of Saint Nectaire cheese with a variety of wines, mostly natural, here’s what I think works best.

What are the best wine pairings for Vacherin Mont d’Or/Vacherin du Haut-Doubs?

People occasionally ask me my favourite cheese - an impossible question but Vacherin Mont d’Or is certainly up there in the top 5.

Another epic night at our Collaborative Cooking Club. The theme was game (with a backtrack of Christmas carols) and the menu a partridge, beetroot and walnut salad from @barnyhaughton , gnocchi with venison and wild boar ragu from @sapsedluke and me, a magnificently lavish multi-layered chartreuse of game from @xantheclay and a chestnut and chocolate Mont Blanc from Caroline. We all pitch in and help with each other’s dishes though. Wines - including Chambolle Musigny and Bandol - weren’t too shabby either. Surprised anyone was still standing by the end #gameon. . . . #gamebirds #pheasant #partridge #gamedinner #chestnut #supperclub #cooking #cookingwithfriends #bristolAbsolutely GORGEOUS veg from @formerly_birch’s allotment including Jerusalem artichokes, squash, chard and celery leaf. Plus cider and homemade cider vinegar. If you’re anywhere near #templemeads station in the next hour or so it’s worth braving this utterly shitty weather for. (They’re at @hartsbakery Xmas market). . . . #veg #vegetables #greens #chard #jerusalemartichokes #cider #applecidervinegar #vinegar #bristolCheck out the hashtag #100yearswomensvoting to see a fantastic selection of images celebrating this historic event. This shot of Birmingham New Street station comes from @alphaworksb1 #regram. . . . #women #womenempowerment #womensrights #womensvote #publicart #birminghamSegovian suckling pig @sabor_ldn which feels like a little bit of Spain in the heart of London. Extraordinarily delicate sweet meat and crisp skin + exemplary chips. Also an amazing fish stew with skate and hard boiled eggs. First time I’ve been to the asador upstairs - feels like the best kind of home cooking @nieves_barragan1 @gemmabelleats. Lovely pre-Christmas treat. #guest. . . . #pork #sucklingpig #spanishfood #sabor #london #nievesbarragan Follow on Instagram
