French Wine Regions

France is the world's benchmark for wine. Key regions: Bordeaux (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot — the most prestigious wine estates on Earth), Burgundy (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay — Romanée-Conti is the world's most expensive wine), Champagne (the only true Champagne), Alsace (Riesling, Gewurztraminer), Rhône Valley (Syrah, Grenache), and Loire (Muscadet, Sancerre).
