Gourmet exploration: the perfect pairings between cheeses and Banyuls PDO wines

Dive into a new universe of flavors with Terres des Templiers , where each glass of wine reveals new taste pleasures. A few months earlier, we revealed 18 cooking recipes , in partnership with the Lycée hôtelier d'Argelès-sur-Mer, with which you could pair our AOP Banyuls and AOP Collioure wines.

This time, we explore the delights of cheese and AOP Banyuls wine pairings. On the occasion of World Cheese Day , and in the spirit of celebration, we reveal these few culinary combinations to amaze your taste buds.

For lovers of sweet and subtle flavors: Banyuls Blanc Fontaulé and sheep's cheese

Start your sensory journey with Banyuls Blanc Fontaulé , whose delicate notes pair perfectly with sheep's cheese, a cheese with fine flavors. The combination of the sweetness of Banyuls Blanc PDO and the rich character of sheep's cheese creates a perfect harmony in the mouth, awakening your senses to new sensations.

For lovers of contrasting accords: Banyuls Ambré Roumani Doré and Aged Ash Goat Cheese

Then explore a more contrasting pairing with this AOP Banyuls Ambré, which finds a beautiful complementarity in the Chèvre Cendré Affiné. The complex and gourmet flavors of the Roumani Doré blend wonderfully with the creamy texture and slight bitterness of the Chèvre Cendré Affiné, offering a unique taste experience.

For lovers of surprising and daring duos: Banyuls Rimage and Gorgonzola piccante

For lovers of slightly more daring flavours, Banyuls Rimage Mise Précoce or Banyuls Rimage Alegria pair wonderfully with Gorgonzola piccante. Blue cheeses generally pair particularly well with naturally sweet wines. Thus, the intense aromas and slight spiciness of Gorgonzola piccante are echoed in the richness and depth of this Banyuls Rimage PDO, creating an impressive pairing, full of character and sparkle.

For lovers of complex but timeless pairings: Banyuls Grand Cru La Serra and young Comté

Discover the perfect balance between Banyuls Grand Cru La Serra and Young Comté. The silky, velvety and complex notes of Banyuls Grand Cru PDO perfectly complement the melting texture and moderate intensity of Young Comté.
It is essential to select Comté cheese that has been matured for no more than 8 months, because beyond that, its overly intense aromas would take over this pairing, disrupting the balance established here.
