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.

With a dark ruby color, this wine is soft, expressing great flexibility and elegance, with fruity notes that recall ripe grapes. In short, awine to accompany any meal happily. Because of its main features, freshness and finesse, it is advisable to drink within 2 or 3 years.
