Aged for a minimum of six weeks, Époisses is carefully washed in Marc de Bourgogne, a local pomace brandy, which gives the rind its characteristic deep orange hue, sticky texture, and bold, pungent aroma. Despite its powerful scent, the flavour is surprisingly balanced and refined - a luxurious combination of buttery, savoury, and slightly tangy notes, with a lingering finish that hints at cream, toasted nuts, and a touch of meaty umami. The interior is lusciously smooth and spoonable when fully ripe, melting beautifully on the palate.
Époisses pairs exquisitely with Burgundy wines such as Chablis, Meursault, or a bold Pinot Noir, as well as crusty baguette, fresh pears, or a drizzle of honey. Best enjoyed at room temperature, this cheese is a true delicacy for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of traditional French washed-rind cheeses.
