Crottin de Chavignol, small yet noble, stands out as the ideal partner for Sancerre white wine. This goat cheese hails from the small village of Chavignol, nestled in the heart of the Loire region. Fun fact: did you know that ‘crottin’ means ‘small pile’ in old French? This refers to its small size and round shape.
When savoring a well-aged crottin with Sancerre white, you witness a perfect harmony. The cheese’s slightly tangy and creamy taste enhances the floral and mineral notes of the wine. It’s like a love affair by the Loire, where each reveals the best of the other.
Traditionally, this pairing celebrates local produce, uniting a robust-tasting cheese with a fresh and lively wine. It’s a simple yet refined celebration of the Loire region, where terroir and tradition are forever honored.
