      Wine FAQs

      What are the Types of Red French Wines?

      From sweet red wine and sparkling red wine to dry red wine and even fortified red wines, the reds France produces run the gamut. Red varieties are even allowed in the production of vin de paille—a type of wine made from grapes that have been dried intentionally to concentrate flavor and sweetness—however, they will only ever be pale mahogany colored in glass.

      Which French Red Wines are Most Popular?

      Though there are more than 200 documented grape varieties in France, only 40 or so are known widely outside of the country. Some of the most popular French red grapes to know are Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Gamay, Mourvèdre and Syrah.

      France’s range of red grapes are used to produce myriad styles, some of which have become synonymous with the region in which they are produced or the technique used to produce them. A few of the most important and popular French red wines to know are red Bordeaux (usually made from Merlot, Cab Sauvignon, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carmenère), red Burgundy (made from Pinot Noir), Beaujolais (made from Gamay), Chinon (made from Cab Franc), and Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf-du-Pape (both made primarily from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre).

      How to Pick a Good French Red Wine

      What qualifies as a good French red wine will always be a matter of personal preference, and finding the best French red for you can be difficult. One way to figure out if you’ll like a wine is to look at its label. That’s where you’ll see the producer’s name and find clues about the wine’s regionality, grapes, aging and wine style.

      Unfortunately however, given the sheer mass and diversity of wine France produces, and the myriad regulations it has to govern the process, this approach also requires you to know a bit about these categories. So another way to find a good French red wine is to purchase it from a source you trust, like WSJwine.com.
