Tomme brûlée and Pinot Noir – Our cheese & wine pairing of the month for April!

Apr 3, 2025

Each month, we offer you beautiful cheese and wine pairings from our downtown cheese shop and wine cellar.

This April, discover a pairing between the Pyrénées-Orientales and Burgundy: tomme brûlée and Pinot Noir from Michel Bouzereau et Fils.

Produced in the Basque Country, tomme brûlée is a sheep’s milk cheese with a reddish-orange rind, slightly scorched by flames at the end of its aging process.

With its distinctively blackened rind, this cheese is a true celebration of bold flavors. Its firm texture and intensely smoky taste, highlighted by delicate caramelized, fine, and fruity notes, make tomme brûlée a characterful choice for lovers of strong cheeses.

This uncooked pressed cheese is closely related to Ossau-Iraty, crafted in the heart of the Basque Country using milk from Basco-Béarnaise and Manech sheep, both black-headed and red-headed varieties.

The Bourgogne Côte-d’Or Pinot Noir from Domaine Michel Bouzereau is a red wine with a delicate nose, revealing aromas of red berries such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by subtle hints of undergrowth and spices, with a touch of licorice.

Grown on classic clay-limestone soils, destemmed and cold-macerated, it stands out with its brilliant ruby-red hue.

Its fermentation occurs without added yeast, and it matures for twelve to sixteen months in oak barrels.

On the palate, it offers a silky texture with fine tannins and well-balanced acidity, culminating in an elegant and lingering finish.

The Bouzereau family has been cultivating vines in Meursault for seven generations.
