Pour the wine and lemon juice (or kirsch, if using) into the fondue pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Add the cheese mixture gradually, stirring after each addition, until the cheese has completely melted. Continue whisking until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mustard. Season to taste with nutmeg and pepper.

Place the fondue pot on the fondue stand and light the burner.
