Perfect wine accompaniment to baked Camembert
Why does wine go well with this dish?
Baked camembert is a very creamy and intensely flavoured dish. The sweetness of the honey and the nutty aroma of the walnuts call for a wine that harmonises with these flavours and at the same time brings enough freshness to balance the mouthfeel.
Our top wine recommendations

- Why? The fine acidity and fruity sweetness of the Riesling harmonise wonderfully with the creamy cheese and the honey note.
- Recommended region: Mosel, Rheingau
2. chardonnay (barrique-aged)
- Why? A Chardonnay matured in oak barrels adds a buttery, slightly vanilla note that blends perfectly with the flavours.
- Recommended region: Burgundy, California
3. Cremant d’Alsace or Champagner (Brut)
- Why? The fine perlage ensures a pleasant freshness and emphasises the flavours of the Camembert.
