Wine & Cheese Tasting

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

A field trip to Maison Vauron with our Diploma Cookery and hospitality students where we enjoyed a cheese and wine tasting.
.
The Cheese
• Tomme de Chevre Cendree – raw goats milk from the Loire Valley. A cheese of smooth cream, mushroom with refreshing acidity
• Brie de Meaux, ripe, delicate, and always easy to like.
• Abbaye De Citeaux – a washed rind cheese of unpasteurised cows milk cheese produced in an Abbey in Bourgogne Montbeliarde cows. Funky and a bit wild on the nose but rich and creamy on the palate.
• Gruyère from Switzerland with butter and toasted nuts. So easy to eat more and more.
• Roquefort, the famous sheep’s milk cheese in the town of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon must lead the game of best blue. Creamy, feral but with good acidity and a long lingering finish.
.
The wines
• Domain Roland Lavantureux Chablis AOC 2019
Green apple and lemon with crisp acidity
• Domain Jacqueson 1er Cru 2019 a Pinot Noir from the Bourgogne appellation of
Mercurey with notes of black cherries and plum, mushroom, autumn leaves.
• Petit Guiraud Sauternes 2019 second of wine Chateau Guiraud, ranked in the 1855 classification of Barsac and Sauternes. Ripe notes of Pineapple, honey. Dried apricots, sweet spices.
