WHY STUDY FRENCH WINE?

There is a world within French wine and the wines and wine styles of France have certainly impacted the entire wine world. Many reference France as the benchmark for wine production. This not only thanks to the quality and quantity of wines it produces, but also because internationally recognized grape varieties of high caliber such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are all native to France!

By studying French wine, the student gains a deeper appreciation for the grape and its travels and a reference point for Old World/New World comparisons
