Fresh guides to regions, grapes, pairings and bottles worth seeking out.
France's Loire Valley stretches from the Atlantic inland. Expect crisp Muscadet, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, with styles ranging from bone-dry to sweet and sparkling.
Sauvignon Blanc is the benchmark wine for fresh goat cheese, especially from Loire Valley. Dry Chenin Blanc suits firmer, mature or substantial preparations, while Vermentino and Albariño offer fresh alternatives. Brut sparkling wine is another interesting choice across several goat-cheese styles.
Chablis is a northern Burgundy region known for dry white wines made from Chardonnay. Its cool climate and varied vineyard sites produce wines that are typically fresh, citrus-fruited and savoury, with four appellation levels ranging from Petit Chablis to Grand Cru.
