French wine tradition

Last holiday in France was a good experience for me, it was the first time I visited it on the road and I appreciated many aspects of that country. The highway isn’t crowded as in Italy and is far away from the main cities, there are many herds grazing on green fields far away from pollution. I also loved cheese, it’s so creamy and tasty! The territory is bigger than Italy and there are countless trees, woods, forests and natural parks. But the main characteristic that I appreciated of France is wine and, above all, the centenary story of it. In fact I realized for the first time how France has an important tradition about wine, wineries and grapes. I understood why the French wines are considered at the top of the world. The reason? Story, territory, climate, restricted rules and high quality of products. The interesting visit at Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin was the confirmation of that, especially when the PR, during the visit, said: “Around 1815 Madame Clicquot sold thousands bottles of champagne in St Petersburg”. Amazing!
