Best Wine with Brie
Creamy, mild Brie pairs with wines that can match its richness without overwhelming its delicate flavors.
Why This Pairing Works
Brie's buttery, creamy texture pairs naturally with wines of similar weight. Champagne's acidity cuts through the richness, while Chardonnay's creaminess complements it.
