VINS DE FRANCE – INNOVATION – Mathieu Paquet who founded Paquet-Montagnac gateway to terroir-driven wines. Some labels are priced in excess of 15 euros, their quality alone allowing them to break through the glass ceiling. By promoting vineyard sites located outside recognised appellation areas, Vins de France have everything it takes to grow and attract novice consumers who feel lost amidst a complex sea of French appellations. Vins de France also offer almost limitless freedom for creatively blending new or forgotten grape varieties. At the core of a crowded and competitive market place, they provide a timely alternative to the major appellations. Their choice is both broad and varied, with wines that are often fruity, easy-drinking and versatile from a food pairing perspective, matching every drinking occasion. At the end of the day, the quality of the wines and strength of the brand make all the difference. 44 WINTER 2021 GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE
