Ep 35 French Wine 101 Part Deux - The Lesser Known Regions
I promised you a part two to my French Wine 101 episode and it’s finally here!
If you haven’t listened to part one yet, go back and listen to Episode 19 - French Wine 101. There we talked about the most popular and well known regions of France - Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Loire Valley, and the Rhone Valley.
Today, we are going to go off the beaten path to explore six of the lesser known, but just as wonderful (or possibly even more wonderful), regions of Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, Alsace, Beaujolais, Jura and Corsica!
We are discussing the unique characteristics of each region, uncovering the specific grapes grown there, and talking all about the types of wine they produce.
You’ll also get a peek into the diverse and historical backgrounds that have shaped the wine production in each region!
Are you ready to uncork the mysteries of Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, Alsace, Jura, Beaujolais, and Corsica?
Grab a glass of wine and let’s sip our way through France together!
