Wine with raclette and fondue
Raclette and fondue, the sharing meal
These melted-cheese dishes call for wines that can handle the richness without becoming overwhelming. For a good pairing, favour freshness, acidity and lightness to cleanse the palate between bites. Dry whites from Savoie, with their minerality and natural liveliness, are perfect to contrast with the cheese. Light, fruity yet supple reds can also do the job, especially with a moitié-moitié fondue or cured meats on the side. The goal is simple: honest, accessible wines that encourage toasting and sharing, without overthinking it.
Perfect natural wines to go with raclette and fondue
For whites, a natural Jacquère or an organic Apremont from Savoie brings freshness and tension, balancing the richness of the cheese. A Roussette de Savoie offers a little more roundness for those who like fuller wines. For those who prefer red, a light natural Pinot Noir or a Loire Gamay accompanies cured meats and cheese dishes without overpowering the flavours. Honest and digestible, these natural wines are perfect for a simple, convivial pairing, ideal for toasting with friends around a raclette or a fondue.
