A pioneer in natural winemaking
In 2020, France was the first country to approve an official label for naturally produced wines - wines packaged with “"Vin Méthode Nature" must be made from chemical-free grapes, handpicked, fermented with native yeast, and only a small amount of sulfur dioxide can be added (with the final wine containing less than 30 milligrams per liter).
Popular French regions & producers
Jura, a tiny region on the Swiss border with a smaller yield, is famed for its unusual and distinct winemaking practices and use of the grapes Savagnin,Trousseau, Ploussard, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
In central France, the Loire Valley is known for grapes Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, while Beaujolais produces nearly all Gamay wines.
