Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy are great choices 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. The Domaines Barons de Rothschild Reserve Speciale Bordeaux Blanc with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.

Domaines Barons de Rothschild Reserve Speciale Bordeaux Blanc
Blend of 60% Semillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc.Crystal-clear straw-yellow color. The nose is powerful and aromatic, with the dominant exotic aromas (citrus, lychees) of Sauvignon Blanc. Full-bodied attack on the palate, developing a lively fresh taste with intense aromas of grapefruit and lime on the finish. Both lively and full of flavor.
