Top 7 in Top 10 best wine regions in France.
If you want to explore the unique, diverse vineyards and distilleries in the lesser-known region, then the Southwest or Sud-Ouest is ideal. Although not overly famous, the Southwest is a great place to check out with a host of great awards and wines using rare, lesser-known French grape varieties.
Many bottles of wine produced in the Southwest are similar to Bordeaux but they are not very expensive. The gardeners add to the barrels of unique grape varieties just to create personalization, and special flavors for their products.
