Is France the queen of all fine wines? Are France’s wines the benchmark wines for the world of fine wines? Is France the ultimate fine wine destination? Let’s find out by tasting through four outstanding fine wine regions – Champagne, Loire, Burgundy, and Bordeaux!

We’ll serve seven gold medalists of the “Fine Wine” category of Wine of the Year 2025 competition plus a surprise Bordeaux!

Stories by Aigars Nords & Andrew Jefford in English.
Guests: Jānis Volkinšteins, Agnese Gintere
