Let me say it first... A lot of information on the second floor is wrong... I am not stepping on him, some conceptual things are wrong, and it is easy to mislead the author if not explained.

For example, Pauillac is a village located under the Medoc, a sub-region of Bordeaux. Lafite is produced in this village.

Furthermore, Margaux is also a village and a brand. Margaux, among the five famous chateaux, is from this village.

So I said that many things above are wrong. The poster asked about the characteristics of the top 10 production areas. These examples are purely misleading.

Bordeaux

Burgundy Bourgogne

Valée du Rh?ne

Loire Valley Val? de?Loire

Champagne

Alsace

Provence/Corsica

Languedoc /RoussillonLanguedoc/Roussillon

Jura/Savoie/Savoie

Sud-Ouest in the southwestern production area?

The above are 10 in the traditional sense There is nothing wrong with large production areas, but in fact Beaujolais is also a very important production area, so the number of production areas often mentioned in the industry should be 11.
