Germany, a country with which it shares many grape varieties as well as a long tradition
of varietal labelling.
Bordeaux is a large region on the Atlantic coast, which has a long history of exporting its
wines overseas. This is primarily a red wine region, famous for the wines 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 in eastern France is a region where red and white wines are equally important. Probably more
terroir-conscious than any other region, Burgundy is divided into the largest number of appellations of any French region. The top
wines from Burgundy's heartland in Côte d'Or command high prices. The Burgundy region is divided in four main parts:
Beaujolais in the south, close to the Rhône Valley region, where mostly red wines are made in a fruity style that is usually
consumed young. "Beaujolais Nouveau" is the only one wine that can be legally consumed in the year of its production (Third week
end of November)
Chablis, halfway between Côte d'Or and Paris, where white wines are produced on chalky soil giving a more crisp and steely style
than the rest of Burgundy.
There are two main grape varieties used in Burgundy - Chardonnay for white wines, and Pinot Noir for red. White wines are also
sometimes made from Aligoté, and other grape varieties will also be found occasionally.
Champagne, situated in eastern France, close to Belgium and Luxembourg, is the coldest of France's major wine regions and
home its major sparkling wine. Champagne wines can be both white and rosé. A small amount of still wine is produced in
Champagne (as AOC Coteaux Champenois) of which some can be red wine.
Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean the wines of which are primarily consumed on the island itself. It has nine AOC regions
and an island-wide vin de pays designation and is still developing its production methods as well as its regional style.
Jura, a small region in the mountains close to Switzerland where some unique wine styles, notably Vin Jaune and Vin de Paille,
are produced. The region covers six appellations and is related to Burgundy through its extensive use of the burgundian grapes
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, though other varieties are used. It also shares cool climate with Burgundy.
Languedoc-Roussillon, by far the largest region in terms of vineyard surface, and the region in which much of France's cheap bulk
wines have been produced. While still the source of much of France's and Europe's overproduction, the so-called "wine lake",
Languedoc-Roussillon is also the home of some of France's most innovative producers. They try to combine traditional French
wine and international styles and do not hesitate to take lessons from the New World. Much Languedoc-Roussillon wine is sold
as Vin de Pays d'Oc.
Loire valley is a primarily white-wine region that stretches over a long distance along the Loire River in central and western France,
and where grape varieties and wine styles vary along the river.
Provence, in the southeast and close to the Mediterranean. It is perhaps the warmest wine region of France and produces mainly
rosé and red wine. It covers eight major appellations led by the Provence flagship, Bandol. Some Provence wine can be
compared with the Southern Rhône wines as they share both grapes and, to some degree, style and climate. Provence also has a
classification of its most prestigious estates, much like Bordeaux.
Rhone Valley, primarily a red-wine region in southeastern France, along the Rhône River. The styles and varietal composition of
northern and southern Rhône differ, but both parts compete with Bordeaux as traditional producers of red wines.
Savoy or Savoie, primarily a white-wine region in the Alps close to Switzerland, where many grapes unique to this region are
cultivated.

During the wine producers must rely increasingly on foreign decade of the 1990s, per capita consumption markets. However, consumption has also been dropping in other potential markets such as Italy, Spain and Portugal. The result has been a continuing wine glut, often called the wine lake. This has led to the distillation of wine into industrial alcohol as well as a government program to pay farmers to pull up their grape vines through vine pull schemes. A large part of this glut is caused by the re-emergence of Languedoc wine. Immune from these problems has been the market for Champagne as well as the market for the expensive ranked or classified wines. However, production. French regulations in 1979 created simple rules for the then-new category of Vin de pays. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has taken advantage of its ability to market varietal wines. |
