Normandy cheese platter tasting menu (2 people)

Normandy is renowned for its delicious cheeses, often rich and creamy. Here is a selection of Norman cheeses accompanied by the glass of wine that complements them best:
Accompaniment: a green salad, grilled organic sourdough country bread on request.

Normandy Camembert
Description: Soft cheese with a bloomy rind, with a rich and creamy taste.
Wine: A dry and fruity white wine like a Normandy Cider or a Sauvignon Blanc. The cider adds a sparkling touch that balances the richness of the cheese.

Pont-l'Évêque
Description: Soft cheese with a washed rind, with a creamy texture and a fairly powerful taste.
Wine: A white wine like a Chablis or a Bourgogne Aligoté. These wines bring freshness and acidity which balance the character of Pont-l'Évêque.

Livarot
Description: Soft cheese with washed rind, often nicknamed "the colonel" because of its five strips of red paper.
Wine: A light and fruity red wine like a Pinot Noir from Burgundy. The sweetness and aromas of red fruits go well with the pronounced taste of Livarot.

Neufchatel
Description: Soft cheese, often heart-shaped, with a soft texture and slightly salty taste.
Wine: A white wine like a Sancerre or a Muscadet. These wines offer a minerality and freshness that complement Neufchâtel.

Brillat-Savarin
Description: Triple-cream cheese, very rich and creamy, with a mild, buttery flavor.
Wine: A Champagne or a Crémant. The bubbles and acidity of the sparkling wine balance the richness of the Brillat-Savarin.

These food and wine pairings allow you to fully savor the unique characteristics of each Norman cheese while complementing them with carefully chosen wines.
