French Wine Collection – Bordeaux & Burgundy Classics
Discover the Heart of French Winemaking
France is the spiritual home of the world’s best wines. Region like Bordeaux and Burgundy have set the standards for quality and style for hundreds of years. Bordeaux wines are full-bodied, structured and have a whole lot of personality and made mostly with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Burgundy wines are more elegant with silky tastes of Pinot Noir (red) and fresh, vibrant notes of Chardonnay (white).
At In The Cru, our selection of French wine is curated by sommeliers and experts, so each bottle that you purchase is a true reflection of the history, terroir and workmanship of these iconic regions.

Burgundy: The Art of Pinot Noir & Chardonnay
Burgundy wines are all about the land they grow in — it’s known as terroir. The area also has a classification system that indicates quality:
- Village Wines: Fruit is sourced from multiple vineyards from the same village– (i.e. Meursault, Gevrey-Chambertin). These are delicious and a fine Burgundy wine.
- Premier Cru (1er Cru): Single vineyard excellence of characteristic terroir influence. Example: Volnay 1er Cru “Les Caillerets” (denser, ageable).
-
Grand Cru: The top vineyards in all of Burgundy. These are wines that are seldom found are strong, and age forever.
Example: Chambertin Grand Cru (red) and Montrachet Grand Cru (white).
Quick Guide:
-
Premier Cru → high quality, distinct terroir signature.
- Grand Cru → top of the Burgundy hierarchy, rare and expensive.
