This pasteurized goat’s milk cheese from the Burgundy region of France cries out for the gamey complexity of Burgundian Pinot Noir, but affordable versions of these are not easy to come by. The Malivoire Gamay is, and it delivers, above all else, compatible weight. Both the cheese and the wine offer full flavour on a light frame, exiting slowly and gracefully together from the dance floor of the mouth. A sophisticated couple. Cue the string quartet.
