Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

French can be paired with Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy. French wine is just as diverse as French food, but you rarely go wrong with champagne. If your meal calls for a white wine, you might also try a white burgundy. For a red, try a red bordeaux blend. One wine you could try is Baron des Chartrons Bordeaux. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 11 dollars.
