The Cork & Fizz Guide to Wine

Ep 73 Exploring Underrated French Wine Regions & Pronunciations with Katie Melchior (Part 2)

Hailey Bohlman | Wine Talk Episode 73

Are you curious about lesser known French wine regions and mastering tricky pronunciation?



Today, I have Katie Melchior back on the podcast with me and she is helping us master French wine region pronunciation. Katie shares how to pronounce regions such as Champagne, Bourgogne and the tricky Languedoc-Roussillon. And how to understand letter combinations to get that French sound.



She shares her top 3 regions that she feels deserves more attention, which one she considers the underdog of French wine, and where you want to get your Rosé from (and it’s not Provence).



So, if you are ready to explore some lesser known French wine regions and how to pronounce those trickier French wine names then today’s episode is for you! 



If you haven’t listened to Episode 72, go back and listen in! In Part 1 of my interview with Katie Melchior of the French Wine Tutor, we talked about the intersection of language, culture and wine.
