Not without reason is France looked upon as the spiritual homeland of wine. The world’s best-known grapes are French in origin, and the art of wine-making today rests entirely on the traditional methods employed in France. Vintners the world over draw inspiration from the French, and new wines are invariably compared to those of France.

Good wine is the elixir of life for the French. They have been growing grapes and making wine for over 2,000 years, building up traditions that span 300 generations. The AOC classification system is a guarantee of quality and helps to preserve the traditions and characteristics of each region. With an output of some 55 million hectolitres of wine a year, France is one of the world’s biggest wine producers.
