I don't think you can go wrong with it. Pairing it with a shellfish would probably work like a charm. I don't know if I'd try another cheese with it, even a compte like Neil suggested. Neil, I would be very interested to taste that Cheveau again in 2 or three years, wouldn't you? I'm not sure how it will age, but I'd like to see if the steel and flint takes over or not, you know? But then isn't that what makes white Burg a joy, the fact that it has the bones to age? Even if the lushness disappears, you still have that cream/earth dichotomy, which is always so stimulating...

I'm still working on mine.... The Greffiere is not only an old fave of mine but was the white wine served at my wedding a bunch of years back. At the time, it was a great value at a mere $12/bottle. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen it around or tasted it in quite a while. I'll have to keep on the lookout for a bottle as it would be nice to get reacquainted. Nice post, Scamp.
