Fondue Comtoise and Wine

Fondue can be somewhat difficult to pair with wine, despite the fact that white wine is a main ingredient in the dish. The richness and warmth of the melted cheese requires the wine served with the meal to provide a refreshing counter point, usually in the form of a light white wine, though not overly crisp. The neighboring Swiss fondue is typically accompanied by the rather neutral Chasselas (also known as Fendant), and while the Jura is more known for its wines of character, a relatively light and unoaked Côtes-du-Jura Chardonnay should also do the trick.
