Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy
Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy are my top picks for French. 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. You could try Les Hauts de Lagarde Bordeaux Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.

While in the mouth the Semillon brings roundness, volume and richness withpleasant notes of citrus fruits. A fine liveliness leads to a great finale.
