An independent guide to the wines of France.

What This Site Is

Amazing French Wines is an independent website about the wines of France. We write about the regions, the grapes, the classifications and the great bottles, for anyone who wants to understand French wine a little better, whether you are choosing a first bottle of Sancerre or planning a cellar of classified Bordeaux.

What You Will Find Here

  • Region guides to Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhone Valley and the Loire Valley.
  • Wine profiles of benchmark bottles, with tasting notes, vintage context and food pairings.
  • Practical guides to tasting, reading labels, storing wine, en primeur and choosing wine as a gift.
  • The Journal, with in-depth articles on the great wines of France.
