Alsace will always be an inspiration for The French Table in both

cooking and wine. Having grown up in the region, Thomas the chef has

always had a love for the wines from this area. The 9.5 hectares of vineyards surround the village of Mittelbergheim which is located

in the Bas Rhin about 30km from Strasbourg. The vineyards are owned

by Lucas Rieffel and his father André. Lucas took over the reins in

1996. Since the 2009 harvest the vines have been 100% organic

Huge quantity of mainly long-lived, medium-bodied reds and extremely varied dry whites. Bordeaux is France’s most important

weapon in the wine war. This large, south-western wine region, produces more AC

Small, complicated region that delivers paradise in a bottle. Unlike France’s other famous

wine region Bordeaux, Burgundy is still a land of peasant

farmers. There could hardly be a greater contrast in social climate between Burgundy and

Bordeaux, France’s two premier wine regions. While most famous Bordeaux wine estates are large and centred on a grand château, Burgundy’s most famous vineyards are in the hands of the men who

work them.

Proper, red Beaujolais can be a delicious drink - quite unrelated

to red burgundy made further north. The only indisputably

successful wine made exclusively from Gamay grapes, it is often

relatively light-bodied with lots of youthful fruit and refreshingly

high acidity, although more and more ambitious producers are

making a denser, more Rhône-like wine. Most Beaujolais should on no account be kept and is good when

served lightly chilled.

Concentrated, beefy red wines designed for ageing. The

northern Rhône produces small quantities of some very fine wine indeed, while the much more extensive vineyards of

the southern Rhône produce one of France’s ‘commodity’ wines, Côtes du Rhône, as well as a host of other wines based on

the Grenache grape.
