France is the world's largest producer of fine wines. Chateaux and vineyards that produce the world's greatest wines are considered National Treasures. The vastness of the wines available is nearly beyond comprehension. The Bordeaux wine region, alone, produces in excess of 700 million bottles of wine every year. They range from the most famous wine estates in the world to modest table wines. The "terroir" is the reason most often given to explain the superiority of the country's wines. It is these plots of land on which the chateaux and vineyards are located that contribute to making French wines the benchmark for the rest of the world.

Let AOC Wines Inc. and www.aocfrenchwines.com be your sommelier, guiding you on a tour of the best AOC's (appellation d' origine) in France. We have visited, tasted and ultimately selected the best Chateaux and vineyards to bring to you the finest wines. We select only one chateaux and/or vineyard from an appellation. Only established and respected chateaux and vineyards are considered. Look for the distinctive AOC label with the name of the producing chateau on the bottle's rear label. The rear label will also list the grapes used and their percentages. Our "Chateau Collection" reflects value and quality.
