Palet de Bourgogne

Palet de Bourgogne is a French cheese hailing from Gevrey-Chambertin. The cheese is made from cow's milk and it ages for 4 weeks. It's based on Epoisses, and it's washed every two days with Marc de Bourgogne and brine. As a result, the rind becomes wet and develops a reddish color.

The aromas are intense, while the texture is creamy, smooth, and almost runny. The flavors are full, rich, powerful and penetrating, but not as strong as those of Ami du Chambertin and Epoisses. It's recommended to pair Palet de Bourgogne with light red wines and serve it with walnut bread.
