B O R D E AU X Located in Southwestern France near the Atlantic coast, Bordeaux has a maritime climate, with a damp spring, hot and mostly dry summers, mild winters, and quite a bit of rain in the fall and winter. Harvest typically occurs from September to October. The region is spilt by a large estuary, called the Gironde, which is fed by two rivers: the Dordogne and the Garonne. These waterways naturally divide the region into three main areas: the Left Bank (Médoc and Graves), the Right Bank (Libournais), and Entre-Deux-Mers.
B U RG U N DYLocated in east-central France, Burgundy spans, over 150 miles from the northern-most appellation of Chablis to the southern-most region of Beaujolais. Chablis has a particularly cool climate, with cold winters and cool summers, and is celebrated for its unique Kimmeridgian clay soils. The Côte d’Or (comprised of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune) runs along a narrow limestone escarpment about 80 miles south, and has a more typically continental climate with cold winters and warm summers. Further south, the Côte Chalonnaise, the Mâconnais and Beaujolais are warmer, with milder winters due to their increasing proximity to the Mediterranean. Harvest typically occurs from September to October.
C H A M PAG N ELocated in north-central France, Champagne is one of the coldest regions in the country. Spring frosts are common, summers are cool, and winters can be harsh. Harvest is by hand and typically occurs from September to October. The Champagne region is famous for its chalky soils, which are porous and store water. The chalk has a high active lime content (40%), that gives low pH grapes and thus high acidity.

LO I R ELocated in central France, the Loire Valley runs 600 miles east to west along the Loire River to the Atlantic coast. The region can be separated into four subregions, with distinct climates. The Central Vineyards (including Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre) have a continental climate, and soils that range from calcareous to flint. Anjou-Saumur and Touraine have mild climates, with plenty of sunshine during the growing season. The Pays Nantais, or Muscadet, has a cool, maritime climate. Harvest typically occurs from September to October.
PROVENCELocated in the southeastern region of France, the coastal region of Provence has a very warm, Mediterranean climate. The ample sunshine is tempered by the cooling influence of the mistral wind which blows through both Provence and the Rhône. Harvest typically occurs from September to October.
R H Ô N ELocated inland in southeastern France, the Rhône Valley is divided into two distinct subregions: the Northern Rhône and the Southern Rhône. The Northern Rhône has a continental climate, with cold winters and hot summers, while the Southern Rhône has a Mediterranean climate. Both are particularly affected by the fierce mistral wind which blows down from the Alps to the east. While the Northern Rhône is well-known for its slate and granite dominated soils, the Southern Rhône is more varied, ranging from clay, sand and limestone, to the large galets of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Harvest typically occurs from September to October.
