This French cheese and wine hamper is a taste of the French cheeseboard, with the wine to match. We bring together Camembert de Normandie, Comté, truffled Brillat-Savarin and Livarot, then add Corsican quince and rosemary jam, chutney and MAD LAB crackers to serve, alongside a bottle of Lalande-de-Pomerol red and a bottle of Chablis 1er Cru white. The cheese is all French, from soft and bloomy to washed-rind and goat. Lift the lid, and a French fromage board is ready.

The French cheeses

On the board there is Camembert de Normandie, Comté, truffled Brillat-Savarin and Livarot. It moves from mild and creamy to punchy and washed-rind, the way a proper French cheeseboard should. Each is made by a small French maker. A little of each goes a long way, so there is plenty here to share and to linger over with friends. It is exactly the kind of board people gather around after dinner.

The accompaniments

To go alongside there is Charles Antona’s Corsican quince and rosemary jam, fig chutney and Hédène honey – the sweet and tangy notes that lift good cheese – with MAD LAB crackers to carry it all. Together they turn a fine cheese selection into a proper French spread, ready to set out and enjoy. Nothing here is an afterthought; each one is chosen to make the cheese taste even better.

The wine

To drink, this French cheese and wine hamper comes with a bottle of Lalande-de-Pomerol red and a bottle of Chablis 1er Cru white, French wine chosen to suit the cheese. Pour a glass and settle in. You can browse our French hampers for more, or read about French cheese.
