Choosing the right French white wine to enjoy with dinner or serve to guests doesn’t have to be hard. Try one our recommendations below and save yourself some time.
Chablis – Chablis hails primarily from Burgundy, France and is made from chardonnay grapes. (There is no such thing as a chablis grape.) The wine is clean, crisp and dry and is great on its own, but pairs nicely with a wide variety of foods. We highly recommend the Drouhin Chablis, which is pale gold in color, with candied lemon citrus, soft herbs and a delicate mineral finish, and the fresh and supple William Fevre Domaine Chablis, both from Burgundy vineyards.
Chardonnay – Chardonnay is originally from the Burgundy region in central France and features complex fruit flavors and notes of earth and minerals. Very crisp, unoaked Chardonnays make a great appetizer wine, and pair well with pates, sushi, oysters, mussels, and clams. Lower acid varieties are perfect for a wide variety of fish dishes, especially lighter, white fleshed fish. The most complex, rich Chardonnays are wonderful with veal, pork, and chicken. Try the Latour Chardonnay Ardeche with your fish and the Latour Puligny-Montrache with your poultry and meat dishes.
Sancerre – Sancerre is made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape and comes from France’s Loire Valley where it acquires a more subtle and complex flavor. It’s extremely versatile. The citrus in it will pair perfectly with poultry and fish and it’s an excellent choice with meat, vegetables and a wide range of cheeses. Try the Chateau De Sancerre which has an embracing acidity, bright green and stone fruit flavors, and a zesty and vibrant finish.
We stock an extensive selection of wines from around the world, including the finest French, Italian and American wines and award-winning wines from Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, Spain, Portugal and South Africa. If you’re ready to broaden your wine horizons, we can help!
