Wines from France
France is where so many of the world's reference points live: Burgundy, the Rhône, the Loire, Champagne. When these wines are good, they have a way of reminding you why the regions became famous in the first place. I've picked bottles across a wide range of prices, from midweek drinking to wines worth putting away.

About French Wine
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.
Burgundy
The world's yardstick for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Terroir made drinkable: nuanced, precise and endlessly rewarding.

Proper Champagne, including grower fizz with real character rather than big-house consistency. Worth opening for its own sake, not just to mark an occasion.
