Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

French can be paired with Bordeaux, Champagne, 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. You could try Chateau Bellevue Peycharneau Bordeaux Superieur. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.
