Looking
for good value in French wine? Check out “Vins de Pays” or French Country Wine.
The majority of these are produced in the south of the country on the
Mediterranean in the Languedoc-Roussillon regions. Originally, they were the local
wine producers sold in bulk or by the pitcher full at the side of roads next to
their estates. However, these wines have seen a jump in quality level over the
last number of years and are now varietally labeled or chateau-bottled. Here
sun-baked vineyards produce many of your favourite varieties like Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. So avail yourself of these. Simply look
for “Vins de Pays” on the bottle. Cheers!
