      Wine FAQs

      What are the most famous french white wines?

      French white wine is made in several renowned regions across France, each one contributing to its unique character, style and flavour to the wine. Within each region, there are numerous appellations celebrated for their exceptional white wines.

      Here are some of the most famous ones:

      Chablis - A sub-region of Burgundy, Chablis is known for its lean, zesty, minerally driven white wines. Chablis wines traditionally see little or no oak ageing, preserving the pure, fresh fruit characteristics of the grape with a tingly finish and flint-like minerality.

      Sauternes - These wines are remarkably rich, sweet and complex, with intense flavours of honey, apricot and marmalade. This is balanced by a vibrant acidity that prevents them from being cloying.

      Alsace - Situated on France’s eastern border, Alsace is known for its aromatic white varieties, including Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Riesling.

      Sancerre - These wines are typically dry, high in acidity and characterised by their intense aromatics. They deliver citrus and green fruit flavours and often a distinctive flinty, smoky note, particularly in Pouilly-Fumé.

       Vouvray - Celebrated for its Chenin Blanc wines, ranging from dry to sweet and sparkling.

      How should I serve French white wine?

      French white wines should be served chilled to bring out their best characteristics.

      Light, aromatic wines such as Sauvignon Blanc or Muscadet should be served between 9-11°C. Richer, full-bodied whites like oak-aged Chardonnay or Viognier taste best slightly warmer, usually between 10-13°C. Be careful not to serve white wines excessively cold, as this might mute the aromas and flavours.

      Decanting can be useful for aged white wines, allowing them to breathe and release their complex aromas.

      For the best tasting experience, serve French white wine in a glass specifically designed for white wines. These glasses typically have a narrower bowl and a rim that tapers inwards to concentrate the aromas of the wine. Hold the glass by the stem to prevent your hand’s warmth from affecting the temperature of the wine.
