What wine goes with aged cheese?

Aged cheese, such as a mature Gouda, Comté or Parmesan, is salty and savoury, with salt crystals. Many people choose red wine, but white wine is often a better match. A Riesling with some residual sugar and plenty of acidity is a good choice. White Burgundy goes with Comté and Gruyère. Red Bordeaux goes with hard, aged cheese, as long as the wine is a little older and the tannin has softened. In the Jura they drink vin jaune with Comté.
