Recommended wine: Champagne, Bordeaux, White Burgundy

French can be paired with Champagne, Bordeaux, and White Burgundy. 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 Gramona La Cuvee Cava with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.

Gramona La Cuvee Cava

Straw yellow color. Good intensity and definition on the nose with stone fruit aromas of peach, loquat, apple, and pear. A citric hint of lemon peel provides freshness. Buttery notes and a subtle touch of species and honey.The wine is kind on entry, medium-bodied on the palate, with a good weight of fruit and a well-integrated crispy mousse. Refreshing finish and sustained acidity.This wine can be enjoyed throughout the meal, from the 'aperitif' through to the 'digestif'. Gastronomic and versatile.Blend: 70% Xarel.lo, 30% Macabeo
