The Classic French Wine Regions

France has many famous wine regions, but foremost among them must be Bordeaux. Bordeaux wines are mostly red, with a blend of grape varieties. Some of the most famous reds, like Chateau Latour and Chateau Margaux are from this region.

Burgundy is another big name, and has the largest range of appellations of any French region. They are divided evenly between white and red and wines from the Cote d'Or can command some of the highest prices!

Champagne hardly needs an introduction. It is the home of the famous sparkling white, but also some rosé and a small amount of still red wines.

Languedoc also deserves a mention, as it's the largest wine region by area, so you'll find lots to taste here! Of course we're only scratching the surface, but these regions are must-visits for the wine enthusiast.
