For us, France is the most important wine producing country in the world. France produces more great wines from more top quality producers than anywhere else. At the top end, the wines are defined by their terroirs and the best versions of almost every wine can be found or originated somewhere in France.

A grand tradition of Terrior
France brought the world its understanding of ’terroir’ – the perfect matching of vine, soil and climate, a legacy of centuries of winemaking. The focus on the terroir means many French wine comes from old vines suited perfectly to the micro-climates they grow and as such produce the best wines, wines that express their place better than others.

Another legacy of centuries of wine-making is the French system of classification and labelling, which can be difficult to understand. Many wine-makers will produce a general, regional wine and then a special wines from specific vineyards or areas that are deemed superior or ranked highly. Basically, Grand or Premier Cru wines are from the best vineyards and are never cheap. Where relevant, we have listed the particular grading system used by that region but it is always worth noting that these systems are not infallible and should be used only as a general guide. A growing number of specialist, 'garagiste' producers, particularly in the St. Emilion area of Bordeaux, are producing very small quantities with the emphasis on rigorous quality control (low level cropping, hand harvesting, double sorting and the like - a trend that has been seen in California , Italy and Australia). Some of these wines are absolutely exceptional, others distinctly ordinary.
