What constitutes a classic French wine undoubtedly differs depending on whom you ask. But assuredly we can agree on these key elements: an appellation that has stood the test of time, delivering wines of distinctive character and typicity year in and year out, and a winemaker whose efforts allow the singularity of their terroir to shine. The six classic French whites in this pack have all consistently earned a spot at our holiday tables, each evoking a mesmerizing sense of place. 
     We’ve included bottlings from every corner of the hexagon: a joyful Chenin Blanc from our Vouray specialists, a mineral-driven Alsatian Riesling, the perfect oyster wine from Bordeaux, a benchmark Chablis, a Bandol built for cellaring if you can resist it now, and an opulent northern Rhône blanc evoking apricot, almond, and citrus. So let’s raise our glasses to the vignerons and vigneronnes who steward the great winemaking traditions that brought us these classics. Santé!
