France's Hidden Treasures
Beyond the famous names lie France's secret wine regions—places where tradition never yielded to fashion, where indigenous grapes thrive, where wines taste like nowhere else on earth. The Jura, Savoie, and Corsica might produce less than 2% of French wine combined, but their influence on wine culture far exceeds their size. These are the regions that inspire sommeliers, intrigue collectors, and remind us that wine's greatest gift is diversity.
Each region tells a different story. The Jura maintained winemaking traditions that elsewhere disappeared. Savoie's mountain vineyards produce wines of crystalline purity. Corsica, closer to Italy than France, makes wines that capture Mediterranean wildness. Together, they offer adventures for those willing to venture beyond the familiar.
