French Wines

In many ways it couldn’t be simpler. France equals wine. Wine equals France. The world-famous regions just roll off the tongue...Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne... those are the big three, the areas which almost everyone has heard of. The renowned chateaux such as Margaux, Montrachet, and Moët & Chandon household names. The most famous wine producers are famous for good reason- without a shadow of doubt, some of the world's best wines originate there, but when you buy French wine it is also worth considering other options.

Wines from regions such as Alsace, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, and the Rhone can also be exceptional. There’s a great deal to choose from even once you look away from away from the glitz and glamour of the big names. With 1.9 million acres under vine, France offers no shortage of affordable wines alongside prestige choices.

For French wine producers it is all about the terroir. Put simply, it should be possible to taste, the area, the terroir, the earth, the climate to which the grapes were exposed, in the wine. For example, you might taste sunshine in a Rhone red or the herbs and minerality in a Sancerre.
