As far as wine is concerned, France is alone.

No other country can beat it in quality and diversity.

And while many of its regions - Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, of course - produce wine as rare, sought-after and almost as expensive as gold, there are just as many mysteries and nuggets to be discovered in little-known appellations across the country.

To know everything about French wine would take a lifetime.

To understand and appreciate French wine, all you have to do is start tasting it.
