Langres Champenois is a rich and indulgent washed-rind cheese, crafted in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. A variation of the classic Langres AOP, this cheese is celebrated for its creamy, melting texture and complex flavour, making it a favourite among lovers of traditional French 'fromages'.
Made from cow’s milk, Langres Champenois is aged for a minimum of 15 days, during which it is regularly washed in brine to develop its signature deep orange, wrinkled rind. Unlike many washed-rind cheeses, it is not turned during maturation, resulting in its characteristic sunken top - a perfect vessel for pouring in a splash of Champagne, Crémant, or Marc de Bourgogne before serving, enhancing its already luxurious profile.
The flavour is rich and creamy, with a balance of buttery sweetness, gentle earthiness, and a subtle tang. As it matures, its aroma intensifies, offering a pungent yet refined character that pairs beautifully with sparkling wines, crisp white Burgundies, or even a fruity red Beaujolais. Serve it at room temperature alongside fresh bread, walnuts, or a drizzle of honey to fully appreciate its soft, velvety texture.
