Who It's For: Francophiles, wine drinkers of every level, anyone planning a trip to France, and anyone who wants to spend a holiday the way the French would
France did not invent wine, but it wrote most of the rulebook the rest of the world still follows. On Bastille Day, we are raising a glass to the producers who make us fall for French wine over and over again, from the famous houses to the small growers we cannot stop recommending.
This class is a tour of our favorites across the map. Champagne to start, then through Burgundy, the Loire, the Rhône, Bordeaux, Alsace, and the southern regions that quietly overdeliver. We are not chasing a checklist of appellations so much as sharing the bottles and the people behind them that earned a permanent spot in our hearts and on our shelves.
Expect a few classics, a few sleepers, and a running commentary on why each one made the cut.
