Sauternes

white · Sémillon Botrytisé · Sauternes, Bordeaux · France — 8–10°C

Sauternes Semillon's honey, apricot and orange marmalade contrast at 90 degrees with Roquefort's salt, while botrytis acidity cuts the creamy Aveyron paste.

Maury Grenat

red · Grenache Noir · Maury, Roussillon · France — 15°C

This naturally sweet wine from Roussillon plays the sweet-salty contrast with Roquefort spectacularly.

Porto LBV

red · Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz · Douro · Portugal — 15–17°C

Late Bottled Vintage Port (Touriga Nacional-dominant from the Douro, 4-6 years bottle-aged) — black fig, cocoa, compoted black fruit and liquorice form the canonical English pairing for Stilton and Roquefort; British tradition of serving Port with blue cheeses dates from the 19th century, 20° alcohol holding salt and mouldy power without complex.
