Mons Langres AOP
Hervé Mons · Champagne, France
Rich, moist and gently spicy, with a sticky orange rind and a fudgy centre that melts beneath it.
The cheese
Langres is a washed-rind cow's milk cheese from the Champagne region, protected by AOP status since 1991. Its shape is unmistakable: a small drum with a hollow on top, called the fontaine, which forms because the cheese is never turned while it ripens. The rind is washed in brine and coloured a soft orange with annatto. Ours is selected by Hervé Mons.
Tasting notes
The paste is rich, moist and spicy. When ripe it is almost melting under the rind, with a fudgy centre. The aroma is full but the flavour is round and savoury, with a gentle tang. Younger Langres is firmer and milder, with a chalky heart.
How to enjoy
For a traditional touch, pour a little Champagne into the hollow on top just before serving, as they do in Champagne. Serve it with crusty bread and honey and walnut lavosh. Pair it with a dry Champagne or a red Burgundy. Bring it to room temperature for an hour before serving. Keep it well wrapped and away from milder cheeses in the fridge.
