La Champagne is a region of timeless natural beauty. The name derives from the Latin 'campus', 'campania', or field. In Old French this became 'Champaign'. Today, it's Champagne. From the very outset, the wines of Champagne were prized above all the vineyards of Europe. Over 24 million bottles are sold in the U.S. every year. Here are a few cheeses we enjoy with champagne:Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.
- Chevre by Couturier: It's nice that CHampagne and CHevre both start with CH, because the two pair perfectly together. This young, fresh goat cheese comes to us from France's Loire Valley, near the important city of Nantes. Its mild tanginess makes for great nibbling while sipping Champagne. (4 oz.)
- Kerrygold Aged Cheddar: This connoisseur's cheddar, notable for its rich, rounded flavor and firm, smooth body, deserves a place on the cheese board alongside your choice of the world's other great cheeses. (8 oz.)
- French Brie: The most prized and celebrated of all French cheeses, Brie is believed to have been created prior to the Eighth Century. In 1815, the Prince de Tallyrand named Brie "Le Roi de Fromages" - The King of Cheeses. Each of our French Bries is shipped uncut. (1 lb.)
- igourmet.com Signature Cheese Serving Knife: Specifically crafted for us at igourmet.com, this multi-function cheese knife is the perfect tool to easily slice uniform servings of your favorite cheeses.
- Water Crackers: Perfect for serving with cheeses, fruit, and spreads when entertaining. (4 oz.)

For New Years, we had a night's worth of champagne tastings, with this board offering a range of pairings. There was a Blanc De Blancs by Legras that was exceptional with the sharp cheddar we had early on in the evening, and the creamy, robust-flavored Chaource was easily cut into a flavorful panorama by a magnificent brut by Perrier Joet. Really nice selection made it a fun evening.
