Because of France’s long history, many vineyards and wineries can trace their roots back through the centuries, and many winemakers hail from winemaking families. Producing wine from one region for several generations gives French winemakers insights into their vineyards that New World producers simply do not have. This is one of the reasons France is the global benchmark for premium wine production and is emulated around the world.
Several winemaking concepts and techniques, such as terroir (tear-wah), have been exported to every corner of the globe. Cuttings of French grape varieties have been smuggled in suitcases and gumboots by ambitious winemakers with the hope that they might be able to reproduce the magic of France in their home country. France’s influence over the global wine world cannot be understated, and while the country’s wine labels are often viewed as confusing, the wines themselves are not to be missed.
France has several different climatic zones. The climate on its west coast is tempered by the Atlantic Ocean. However, its Northern interior has a true continental climate with four distinct seasons and cold winters. The south of France has a reputation as a prime vacation spot for a reason. Winter there is an abstract concept, and the warm summers and mild seasons resemble those of Spain. This combined with mountain slopes, hills, and valleys and a myriad of soil types makes France able to grow such a wide array of grapes and produce so many different wine styles.
