Pairing Wine with Brie

Most often made from raw or pasteurized, whole or skim cow's milk, Brie is French in origin. It's characterized by its soft, creamy texture and a thin, edible rind. Flavor-wise, Brie is somewhat buttery and slightly sweet. Be sure to eat at the peak of ripeness to take advantage of its best flavors.

Wine Recommendations

Champagne and Sparkling Wines: Authentic versions of Champagne are made in Champagne, France, but other areas make it as well. Try Veuve Clicquot Champagne from France, Freixenet Cava from Spain, or Domaine Carneros Brut from California.
