Mapping France in Wine Bottles: Where to Get Affordable French Wine

Jill Barth · Taste · Wines and Spirits of Provence

If you have the impression that finding affordable wine in France is hard – it is definitely time to revisit that stance. My husband and I have taken several road-trips through France, meeting winemakers and tasting wine – much of it high-quality, AOP wines with price-tags that need to be forgiven for their modesty.

…Continue reading here for Jill’s recommendations for wines that she has personally tasted, and are available in the US (typically for under $20USD). Although, she covers Burgundy and Bordeaux (“those other regions”) we were thrilled to read about her suggestion from one of our favourite vineyards (Mas de Gourgonnier) in the Alpilles near Mouries.

Jill Barth

Jill is a writer whose characters make wine, love wine, and live wine. Research for her forthcoming novel–the story of a Provençal winemaking family during the Second World War–has afforded her glorious pleasures: meetings with ambitious French vignerons, travel up and down France in bouncy Renaults, overnights in shuttered châteaux, and many hours as a student of wine with a glass to her lips. In this role, she not only enjoys her own relationship with wine but she also indulges in the life of the French winemaking family that inhabits the pages of her novel.

Jill writes about wine, travel and occasionally yoga (she’s a certified yoga instructor). Her fiction has been featured on NPR and has been published in several literary journals.

Her writings can also be found on her blog L’Occasion.
