Choosing French wine

Amélie et Charles Sparr represents Alsace, while François de Nicolay offers a route into Burgundy. The Rhône selection includes Domaine de la Solitude and Chêne Bleu. Château Le Puy adds wines from the Bordeaux region, and Joseph Perrier brings Champagne to the range.

To choose French wine online in NZ, compare the grape as well as the region. François de Nicolay’s Bourgogne Rouge is Pinot Noir, while its Chablis is Chardonnay. Domaine des Moriers adds Gamay from Beaujolais, including Chiroubles and Fleurie, giving you another French red to explore alongside Burgundy and the Rhône. For white wine, the Sparr Riesling range offers an Alsace comparison with the Chardonnay wines.

For sparkling wine, compare Sparr’s Crémant from Alsace with Joseph Perrier’s Champagne. The Crémant Blanc Celebration listing describes Pinot Blanc with a second fermentation in bottle; Cuvée Royale Brut combines Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. These are different origins and grape combinations to explore, with the individual listings explaining each release. Use the region, vineyard, grape and price filters to narrow this French selection before comparing vintages and bottle sizes.
