Eleven regions, hundreds of appellations, one long quarrel about which is the most important grape.
France is the discipline by which the wine world still measures itself. Every region answers a different question: Bourgogne asks what a single grape can say about a single hillside; Bordeaux asks what a blend can do given a great vintage and a good cellar; Champagne asks whether wine can also be architecture; Loire asks what happens when a river writes the script.
