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 Calvet Cremant de Bordeaux Brut rosé. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.

Calvet Cremant de Bordeaux Brut Rose
Brilliant salmon color with an elegant nose of raspberries and cassis. Very fine and persistent pinpoint bubbles that tease the mouth and lovely finish of crisp, round, fruity flavors. Enjoy Calvet Brut Rose any time as an aperitif, cocktail blend, brunch libation, or for any cause for celebration.
