With a dynamic viticulture, France’s wine is a fascinating country to dive into. The unique terroir of each region from the mountains, to the rivers, proximity to the Atlantic and Mediterranean, latitude - each and every one of these elements matters and affects the wines grown. Check out just a few of these examples!

🇫🇷 Alsace - Located in Northeastern France, Alsace is bordered by the Vosges Mountains in the west and the Rhine River to the east. Distinct from German Alsace, French Alsatian wine has more pronounced fruit and floral notes. Check out our Guaranteed Upgrade 2016 Cave de Ribeauvillé Grand Cru Pfersigberg Gewürztraminer for a taste!

🇫🇷 Burgundy  - One of the most revered wine regions in the world, Burgundy’s soil is a unique combination of limestone, clay and marl plus a cool continental climate that allows for slow ripening of the grapes. Our top upgrade is the elegant 2018 Bouchard Aine et Fils Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay, valued at $350. What a great gateway into this magical land!

🇫🇷 Rhone -Tucked into the Southeast of France, Rhône is characterized by a rugged terrain and soils running from granite and limestone to clay and sand. Vineyards are planted on hillsides warmed by the Mediterranean sun and cooled by the Mistral winds. Check out 2021 Chaume Arnaud La Cadene Blanc Côtes du Rhône Villages White Blend to see what we’re talking about!

🇫🇷 Loire - Fresh, elegant, and diverse are the name of the game in the central France Loire. Shaped by the Loire River, the limestone slopes of Sancerre, and the slate hills of Anjou, Loire is marked by a wide range of wines. Taste the 2021 Les Terres D’Ocre Instant T’Saint Pourcain White Wine to get started!

🇫🇷 Bordeaux - Iconic for its age-worthy wines, Bordeaux’s unique terroir is thanks to the Gironde estuary formed at the confluence of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. The maritime climate and gravelly soils impart a unique character and quality to the wines. The 2021 Chateau Grand Renom Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc will give you a perfect taste!

🇫🇷 Provence - While you might associate this region in Southeastern France with light, refreshing rosés their whites are gorgeous as well! The Mediterranean climate with its hot, dry summers and mild winters marks a bright crisp wines. Check out the 2021 Domaine Rimauresq Cotes de Provence Cru Classe Vermentino for a taste!

The Burgundian soils are mostly limestone with a good proportion of clay but the variation from a village to another can be decisive for the characteristics of the wine. Although Chardonnay is the most common white variety, winemaker Grégory Patriat decided to vinify old vine Aligoté with the same care as a fine Chardonnay.  The Aligoté vines of "Les Moutots" have an average age of 50 years old and display extraordinary minerality and freshness.

Citrus fruits and white flowers are jumbling together, pure aromas! Bold wine with citrus fruit flavors and a touch of hazelnut. Beautiful vivacity.

**Winemaker Notes:**  

 80% Chenin Blanc, 15% Chardonnay, 5% Groslot Gris. Aged in tank (80%) and barrel (20%) for 8 months before release.

 **Tasting Notes:**  

 Both the Chardonnay and the Grolleau Gris play a subtle but noticeable role in this beautiful wine that goes so well with food. Bottled in the spring following vintage after elevage in stainless steel it’s light and bright with a strong backbone from the Chenin.
