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. One wine you could try is Chateau Le Grand Moulin Cotes de Bordeaux Blaye. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Chateau Le Grand Moulin Cotes de Bordeaux Blaye

Mostly Merlot, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec and aged in cement vats. Generous, ripe and fruit forward aromas of dark currant, blackberry, cassis, mint, and spice with touches of earthiness. The medium bodied palate has nice balanced aromas supported by refined, textured tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is savory with earthy flavors and very good length.
