Day 1 | June 2025 – France
One AOC at a Time
May’s tour through Italy’s thirty‑one DOCGs is now safely in the notebook. For June, we cross the Alps and turn our attention to France. Over the next thirty days, we will visit thirty different AOCs, moving from Champagne’s chalk to Cahors’ limestone plateaus.
Each morning’s post will be short enough to read with your first coffee. A quick sketch of the place, a line or two on why its wines taste the way they do, and a few details worth remembering. Paid readers will find extra information that digs a little deeper into soil profiles, cellar choices, travel recommendations, and any recent rule changes that matter.
If you followed along last year, you know the drill; if you are new, welcome. The aim is the same - one region per day and just enough context to make the next bottle feel clearer. Until then, merci for reading and à demain.
