Wine region in France - recommendations
Would love advice for a town to experience wine in France. I know there are many, but would love to hear recommendations to the following itinerary.
Here is the itinerary so far:
-Lyon
-need the next stop here for wine area -3 nights/2 full days
-Bayeux to do D Day sites
-Paris then Paris.
Would you recommend Bordeaux area or another?

Not sure if you want a town as much wine is made in the country but as waterdog says Beaunne is a possible, Chablis (white) is a nice little town for similar, Sancerre (for sauvignon blanc) is spectacular, while Champage (Epernay or Rheims) might be good

In Reims Veuve Cliquot is open to the public but you may have to book ahead.

They do tours as well as the smaller artisan vineyards. The bigger ones don't do tours to the public.

We stayed in Dijon and Beaune as part of our bike tour of Burgundy. My husband did a wine tasting session at one of the Beaune shops with an expert to guide him through the notes and types and he thought it was very worthwhile. He did not have to prebook, just walked in.
