Serving method
Take the cheeses out of the fridge 30–45 minutes before serving so they can reach room temperature and develop their full flavour.
Arrange the cheeses on a large wooden board, leaving space between each variety. Add the fruit, nuts, jam and crackers around the cheeses for contrast.
Pour the Cuvée Réserve Pinot Noir slightly chilled, around 14–16°C. Start with the softer, milder cheeses and move towards the more mature, stronger flavours.
