The Wines of France
(Prepared with the collaboration of the Musée du Vin and Mme Josse) The stars of the world of wineAmong all the great wines, certain are sublime and it is difficult to choose among them. Two exceptional wines deserve the title of “stars”. Château d’Yquem, the king of the Sauternes, syrupy, elegant, is one of the greatest white wines in the world. Among reds, Romanée Conti, delicate, refined, complex, rich, deserves the title of Emperor of Burgundy.

This close relationship between Man and Nature has given birth to wines, a drink appreciated by gods and kings... In Paris, in the bistrots, the restaurants, the brasseries, the neighbourhood cafés, wines are there, already familiar or to be discovered, throughout the year... This guide will lead you through this extremely rich world.
