Our algorithm calculates the flavour balance and compares it to the DNA of every wine style, so the recommendations demonstrably belong to this dish. Below you will first read how baked camembert is built up in terms of taste, followed by the best-matching wines — including the reason behind each choice.
The Wine DNA of baked camembert

Our algorithm translates this flavour balance into wines whose own DNA axes — acidity, tannin, body, fruit and spice — complement the dish rather than overpower it. The higher an axis below, the more that taste defines the dish and the more precisely the wine selection responds to it.
