2017年我们累计品鉴并评分了超过17,000款来自世界的葡萄酒，其中近4,000款是法国葡萄酒。这一年中我们花费了数月时间在法国的不同产区——特别是波尔多，阿尔萨斯，香槟和罗纳河谷来品酒以及拜访葡萄酒生产者。在勃艮第产区，我们也举办了几场品鉴会，主要品鉴来自知名酒商以及博若莱产区的酒款。请按这里查阅2017詹姆斯最喜爱的10款法国葡萄酒。

Out of the total of more than 17,000 different bottles tasted and rated last year, close to 4,000 of them were French wines. In other words, we’ve spent literally months in various regions of France – particularly Bordeaux, Alsace, Champagne and Rhone Valley – tasting and visiting wine producers.  We also did numerous tastings in Burgundy, where we focused on wines from leading negociants and Beaujolais.
