In 2017, we tasted close to 4,000 French wines in various regions of France — particularly in Bordeaux, Alsace, Champagne and Rhone Valley. We found hundreds of great wines, alongside with two Right Bank wines that scored perfect 100 points in the 2014 vintage. You’ll find that the majority of the selected wines on the Top 100 French Wines of 2017 are 2014 Bordeaux, which we believe most people underestimate. Well-balanced and exuberant, the legendary Château Lafleur Pomerol 2014 is the perfect 100-pointer that was named No. 1 wine of France by JamesSuckling.com. From a classic Bordeaux to a vibrant Champagne, France has much to offer. Here are the top 10 wines not to miss.
As always, we work with Asia Tatler to inform wine consumers, collectors and trade on what James is tasting, as well as our definitive selections each year. This April, Asia Tatler republished our Top 10 French Wines of 2017. For the full article in PDF, please click here.
