Bordeaux: A large region on the Atlantic coast, which is primarily a red wine region. The Bordeaux produces famous wines such as Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, Chateau Latour, Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, Chateau Margaux and Chateau Haut-Brion from the Medoc sub-region; Chateau Cheval Blanc and Chateau Ausone in St Emilion; and Petrus and Chateau Le Pin in Pomerol. The red wines produced are usually blended, from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and sometimes Cabernet Franc. Bordeaux also makes dry and sweet white wines, including some of the world's most famous sweet wines from the Sauternes appellation, such as Chateau d'Yquem. Burgundy: or Bourgogne is in eastern France and produces both red and white wines of a high quality such as: Cote de Nuits, Cote de Beaune , Cote Chalonnaise, Maconnais, Beaujolais and Chablis. Champagne: situated in eastern France, is the coldest of France's major wine regions and home to its major sparkling wine. Famous Champagne makers include Dom Perignon, Pomery, Veuve Cliquot, Cristal, Moët & Chandon's Dom Pérignon, Pol Roger, Taittinger to name a few. Only sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region is legally allowed to be called Champagne. Languedoc-Roussillon:is France's largest region in terms of vineyard surface, more than all of Austalia and New Zealand's total vineyards combined. While most wine produced there is at the lower end of the spectrum there are pockets producing some quality wine. Loire: The valley of the River Loire valley is mainly a white-wine region. The upper Loire is primarily a Sauvignon Blanc, area while the Touraine produces cold climate-styled white wines such as Chenin Blanc. Anjou-Saumur is similar to the Tourain wines with respect to varieties, but the dry Savennières AOC and sweet Coteaux du Layon AOC are often more powerful than their upstream neighbours. Saumur AOC and Saumur-Champigny AOC provides reds; and Provence: One of the warmest wine regions of France produces mainly rosé and red wine. It covers eight major appellations led by the Provence flagship, Bandol.[23] Some Provence wine can be compared with the Southern Rhône wines as they share both grapes and, to some degree, style and climate.[24][23][25] Provence also has a classification of its most prestigious estates, much like Bordeaux.[26] Rhône: primarily a red-wine region centred on the Rhône River running south from Lyon. Rhône reds are considered very high quality and compete with Bordeaux. Wine resources Wikipedia on French Wine Terroir France Wines of France |
