“Maybe with good luck we’ll find what eluded us in the places we once called home.” - Roebuck Wright, The French Dispatch

France is not the largest winemaking country in the world, but it would be hard to argue against it being the most complex, sophisticated, and influential of them all. No country has had a greater impact on contemporary wine culture, with French grape varieties, viticultural practices, and winemaking techniques having taken hold all over the world. The road to understanding wine as we’ve come to know it passes inevitably through France, and we at Maxwell Park have put together a list of wines that demonstrate a wide range of grapes and styles from all over the country; some classic, some more avant-garde, and each offering its own contribution to the complicated story of French wine. We want to do our part to help share this story with the public, so please, do yourself a favor and report directly to the Maxwell bureau of The French Dispatch throughout the month of March. You won’t want to wait to get your hands on the pieces we’ll be publishing!
