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. The Chateau Feret Lambert Bordeaux Superieur with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

The color is an attractive dark ruby, reflecting the careful grape selection process. The nose and flavor profile of dark fruits, plum and cedar notes are nicely balanced with acidity and tannin structure on the palate. An elegant wine with both power and finesse. A dry and refreshing finish completes the wine.
