French wine that earns its reputation, without the markup.

France sets the benchmark that the rest of the wine world measures itself against: Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône. It is also where a famous name can cost you dearly for very little in the glass. Mark buys on what is actually in the bottle, working with small growers as much as famous appellations, so the wines here are chosen for quality rather than the label on the front.

From the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy to grower Champagne worth opening for its own sake, this is French wine with someone standing behind every choice.
