Recommended wine: Champagne, Bordeaux, White Burgundy

Champagne, Bordeaux, 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. You could try Champagne Marc Hebrart Cuvee de Reserve Brut Premier Cru. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 48 dollars per bottle.

Champagne Marc Hebrart Cuvee de Reserve Brut Premier Cru

The signature are there, and there's a stealthy richness on the mid-palate; with five minutes in the glass it really exhales. A sumptuous yet articulate wine.
