French vineyards are reinventing themselves!
Rooted in ancestral traditions, wine is an integral part of French culture. Today, French vineyards are undergoing a major metamorphosis, and need to be shaken up to affirm and build the world of tomorrow.
In this issue, we look at issues linked to appellations and climate, answers to preconceived ideas, changing consumer trends and future prospects.
Books, events, utensils and places to discover are highlighted in this publication, which also includes a sneak preview of the champagnes selected in our Livre 2026 des champagnes (p. 100).
Exclusive meetings
The Gault&Millau teams went to meet industry specialists: winemakers, cellar managers, sommeliers and chefs, who dare to invent the taste of tomorrow.
Winemakers from the four corners of France present their work, from the vineyard to the cellar, and reveal their desire to break the mould. in Chiroubles, for example, Château de Javernand defends agroforestry (p. 44), while the Dois vineyard imagines cuvées without bubbles (p. 80).
at the Le Meurice hotel, Clémentine Bouchon, head chef at Le Dali, and Gabriel Veissaire, head sommelier, spontaneously imagine twenty food and wine pairings (p. 128); while chef Jean-Baptiste Natali and cellar master Hugo Drappier discuss the future of champagne (p. 92).
Available today in bookshops and on the Gault&Millau e-shop.
