Gigondas Blanc: Exciting and New
There are fewer things more change-resistant than French wine appellation laws. It took the winegrowers in Southern Rhône's Gigondas region more than a decade of lobbying to secure the right to produce white wines that could bear the name of their esteemed cru. Finally, the Gigondas blancs, which debuted with the 2023 vintage, are making their way to the market.

A Taste of the European Blues
Strong, salty blue cheeses with plenty of bitterness and peppery bite are easy to find. Sorting through the many options to identify those capable of achieving delectable balance by orchestrating multiple intriguing flavors and aromas—from sweet and fruity to nutty, yeasty and chocolaty—can be more of a challenge.

French Wineries Confront U.S. Tariffs
Wine’s taste may be bottled poetry, but its mathematics are often merciless. The U.S. government has implemented 15% tariffs on all European Union wines. Add on a 15% decline in the dollar vs. the euro since January, and French wines are potentially 30% more expensive the moment they arrive on American shores, and their importers need to pay the customs duties. French winemakers—from small wineries to large négociants, from Champagne to Roussillon—are having to calculate whether they can stay afloat with this new math.
