Wine for pressed cheeses is a type of wine that is ideally paired with cheeses such as Comté, Beaufort, Gruyère, Cantal, Emmental and Gouda. It is generally a light red wine, such as a Pinot Noir, a Gamay, a Merlot, a Côtes du Rhône or a Syrah which can accompany the flavors and aromas of pressed cheeses. It is important to choose a wine for pressed cheeses that has a good balance between acidity, tannins and sugar to maximize the taste of the dishes. Light, fruity red wines are particularly popular with pressed cheeses.
