Leaving Southeast of France you will find tasting opportunities even in the capitol. paris offers short wine tastings from Bordeaux to Lyon for those who just want to try and go on. (to the next level?)
Oh Bordeaux! Called Red Eye. One of the greatest small city around the region is Saint Emillion with many tasting places. Many cellars are there. It will be your paradise. Buses take travelers to cellars to taste nice wines like Mourverde.
Even better wine tasting and learning opportunities are in burgundy. Take a tour in this region's greatest wineries and cellars. Discover the wines of Morey Saint Denis or Chambolle Musigny. Find out how they make wines and how they taste their elderly wines.
Some people call it Vin de Bourgogne. But if you know it as The Burgundy wine, you should know that this is of the best wine in the planet.
Red wines prefer Pinot Noir. But in the White Burgundy you can find chardonnay. Wine lovers know it as Grand Cru which produces 35 hectoliters per hectare. Even better Premier Cru with its 45 hectoliters. These wines should be consumed within 3-5 years but finest ones can be kept even longer.
Finally a tip if you would like to take some rest as well: St. Tropez and its neighborhood. (27.000 hectares)
We get back to the Southeast. Chardonnay and Mourverde are also popular here but you can drink Rose if you are a gourmand.
