THE JOURNEY
French wine is not just a drink. It is a way of organising territory, defining regional identities, recording wars and peace treaties. Every grape variety, every appellation, every château carries centuries of human decisions. This expedition travels through six of the most iconic regions of wine-producing France and explores how wine shaped its history, its identity and its place in the world.
