Is France the greatest wine-producing region on the face of the planet? The argument could unquestionably be made in its favor. Certainly, France is the world’s largest producer of wine, with approximately 7.5 billion bottles made annually, capturing the lion’s share of the world market at 34%. France also has the second most acreage planted to vines, lagging just behind Spain.
The French have also pioneered the concept of terroir. This notion refers to the sense of place exhibited by the wine. The wine’s singular thumbprint is instilled by the very unique combination of soils, both macroclimates and microclimates, yearly weather conditions, vine variety, the vineyard’s situation and exposure, and the winemaker’s intervention. There are no two sites in France or in the world that have the same terroir. It is unique to a place and is translated through the characteristics found in that indisputably French bottle of wine.The French have also pioneered the concept of terroir.
