It pairs well with sparkling wines, Chardonnay and fruity reds such as Pinot Noir.

Contrary to popular belief, wine does not pare well with cheese.
Intense flavours of cheese mask the subtle delicate nuances in the wine and salt actually numbs the taste buds and the fats coat the inside of your mouth. If you want to really enjoy the wine limited the amount of cheese served at the meal. If you want to do a wine tasting, keep your palate clean. No food, no other drink except water.

Since brie is mild and less salty than most cheeses, 2002 Ramonet Montrachet (yeah, its chard-based, but not in a California fruit-and-oak bomb kinda way), or, for desert, 1974 D'Yquem Sauternes. Or a well aged port. Done. End of story. One more thing - anything less than Triple Cream brie is a barbaric waste of milk and time.

A sweet white wine such as Chablis, a sweet rose' or a sweet sparkling wine is recommended to bring out the flavor of the brie.

you should try some white wine from Val de Loire, specialy Coteaux du Layon, Pouilly or Tourraine Blanc. try to avoid all wines made with Chardonnay (it's only good with strong cheese like Roquefort or Gorgonzola), prefer wines made of Sauvignon which is a lighter cépage

A sweet, white wine.

If before dinner, I'd try one of the new, popular sparkling reds.
After dinner, absolutely a port!
