One of the oldest wine growing regions in the world, with a viticultural history dating back to the 6th Century BC, France is the source for many wine varietals including Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay that are now planted throughout the world. French wines are labeled according to the regions where they are made (Sancerre, Chablis, Cote de Beaune, Margaux, etc.), which holds true to the tradition that French soils are so distinct that the placement of vines is the ultimate production factor, not the grapes themselves. With so many distinctive growing regions, unique terroirs, and styles of wine the best way to learn and understand French wines is to taste them (especially with the accompaniment of food, it is the French way, of course).
The preparation of the wine is done in a traditional way: every parcel of vines is separately prepared in small vats of stainless steel or wood with integrated hot and cold regulation. The wine is aged in oak barrels for between16 to 18 months according to the vintage. moreBN#295584

James Suckling
I rate wines using the 100-points scale. I have used this point system for close to 25 years. I still believe it is the simplest way to rate a wine, with its origins from grade school in the United States. A wine that I rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A), and worth buying. If I rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy.
