Wine and Brie de Meaux pairings

Brie de meaux is not so easy to combine with wine. If you do, choose a somewhat older red or white or a dry sparkling wine. Beer is a good alternative.

We all know Brie. It is a soft, raw milk white mold cheese. Brie de Meaux is allowed - just like some French wines - to carry its own AOC, or appellation d'origine controlée. A serious cheese, therefore, with strict rules for the milk that may be used, the area it must come from and the way in which the Brie must be made and how long it must mature.
