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 Baron des Chartrons Bordeaux. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.

Baron des Chartrons Bordeaux

Beautiful bright red, with the brilliance of a young wine. The nose is full of fresh fruit, cherry and notes of undergrowth. On the palate, this wine has balance and finesse. An elegant wine, with discreet tannic structure, a clean attack, and a long, aromatic mouth.Blend: 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
