Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

French works really well 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 Amelia Brut rosé Cremant de Bordeaux. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 23 dollars per bottle.

Amelia displays aromas and flavors of strawberry and red currant, with a medium body and elegant finish. A richness on the palate and fine bubbles result from vinification using the Method Traditionnelle and aging on the lees.
