Country/Region :
France
France is a whole world of differences in one country. It is the farmers of Burgundy and the patrician nobility of Bordeaux; it is the castles on the Loire and the kitschy charms of Alsace; it is the sun-and-oil drenched south and the apples of Normandy. And when it comes to wine, there is a reason why French wines are considered to be the benchmark...The standard...The best in the world. We defer here to British wine writer Tom Stevenson, who explains; "the Great French wine regions are a fortunate accident of geography, climate and terroir. No other winemaking country in the world has such a wide range of cool limates; this factor has enabled France to produce the entire spectrum of classic wine styles...Over many centuries of trial and error, the French have discovered that specific grapes are suited to certain soils and, through this, distinctive regional styles have evolved, so that every wine drinker knows what to expect from a bottle of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne or Rhone. This has been the key to success for French wines."
