At that time, brie was a soft, pungent cheese that was often flavored with herbs and spices. Over the centuries, brie has evolved into the creamy, mild-flavored cheese that we know today. However, the tradition of flavoring brie with truffles and wine has remained, and this recipe is a modern take on that classic combination.
