French white wine values tasted in 2008

 

The selected French bottlings have given me much pleasure for the price. I have purchased them again for personal consumption. I would consider doing so even with a 50 percent mark-up. (My criteria are explained here.)

A smaller best-buy page is available which skips wines not imported into the USA.
