  • Chambolle-Musigny
    Chambolle-Musigny APPELLATION D’ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE (Protected Designation of Origin) Village appellation in the Côte de Nuits region, in Côte-d'Or. This appellation has 24 Climats classified as Premier Cru. Commune producing wine: Chambolle-Musigny. The commune of Chambolle-Musigny also produces two Grands Crus: MUSIGNY (See SHEET No. 54) and BONNES-MARES (See SHEET No. 5). The CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY and CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY PREMIER CRU appellations may or may not be followed by the name of the Climat. STYLE OF THE WINES A red wine, Chambolle-Musigny is often presented as the most "feminine" of the Côte de Nuits. And there is an elegant subtlety in its intensity and finesse. The colour is a lively, bright, glittering ruby red. It can darken slightly, but keeps its sparkle. Violets, red berries (strawberries, raspberries) make up the highly characteristic bouquet. With time, it evolves towards ripe, spicy fruit and prunes, or truffles, undergrowth and gamey notes. Rich, with powerful, complex aromas, it coats the palate with silk and lace. Delicate and full-bodied, it nonetheless maintains a solid, long-lasting structure. Quite soft, with relatively little acidity, the tannins remain gentle, caressing the palate. THE SOMMELIER'S RECOMMENDATIONS Red: combining power and femininity, this wine goes well with sophisticated, flavourful meat dishes such as game birds served in sauce, a Bresse capon or slowly roasted lamb. Roast veal is another good pairing; the meat's subtle texture will be delicately coated by the Chambolle's silky yet dense tannins, especially the Premiers Crus. For cheeses, preference should be given to those with mild flavours such as Brillat Savarin, reblochon, cîteaux, vacherin, brie de Meaux or chaource.

  • Authenticity
    THE BEST PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY 45 CHEESES, 3 BUTTERS, 2 CREAMS PROTECTED DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN PDO, PROOF OF GUARANTEE AND HIGH PROTECTION Origin of all manufacturing steps. Manufacturing in the production area (milk production, processing and ripening) is the number one guarantee by a PDO. Protection against theft. A product with a designation may not be copied! This means Reblochon wouldn’t be Reblochon without a PDO! Similarly, all Cantal cheeses are PDO and so on, it can’t be any other way! Preserving expertise. Because not just anyone can make a PDO however they decide, all the steps of obtaining a PDO are strictly defined in a specification note which is tightly controlled by an independent certification organization. Helping the economy of French territories. PDO products boost economic activity in areas that are often limited in terms of agricultural production. Total transparency. With PDO, nothing is hidden; everything is clearly and unambiguously laid out in the specifications. Diversity of flavors. Choosing a cheese, butter or cream PDO is to choose among 50 pro- ducts, all very diverse in their tastes, just like the richness of man and the “terroir” of each product. PDO products also promise not to all have a standardized taste. 1 11 REGIONS OF PRODUCTION PDO CHEESES, BUTTERS AND CREAMS 7 11 5 4 3 8 10 2 9 1 6 THE BEST PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY 2 CONTENTS PDO values p. 1 7 NORMANDY 1 THE SOUTH-WEST • Camembert de Normandie p. 16 • Pont-L’évêque p. 17 • Ossau-Iraty p. 4 • Livarot p. 17 • Rocamadour p.

  • Fondue Recipe
    Fondue Ah fondue. Let’s set aside any clichéd thoughts of this being a 70’s retro dish. This Swiss pot of molten cheese heaven is a timeless classic and is being enjoyed in ever increasing numbers, especially here in Australia as we enter ski season. But it’s not just for the chalet set, this dish can be enjoyed at home with friends and family alike. It’s fun, it’s interactive and most importantly it’s incredibly delicious. The Cheese So which cheese? This can be contentious, but the basic foundation of a really good fondue is full flavoured, well-aged cheeses, which melt more readily, giving the unctuous texture the dish demands. This is because, in the course of ripening, enzymes called peptidases break down the casein and other proteins into smaller fragments that are more soluble in the liquid (in this case wine). The exact combination of cheeses varies. The most common version in Switzerland originates in the cantons of Vaud and Fribourg and is known as Moitie-Moitie, meaning half and half. It consists of equal quantities of Gruyere and Vacherin Fribourgeois, the latter adding lively, floral and nutty notes to the mix and a lovely creaminess to the texture. Here at The Artisan Cheese Room, we also like a combination of Emmental, for it’s nuttiness and supple texture, Gruyere or Beaufort for it’s floral richness and a full flavoured fruity Comte. And if we’re feeling extra decadent, some Reblochon to give a beautiful gloss and velvety texture. The Wine The other essential ingredient of course is white wine.
