Fifteen French wines are among those tasted by contributors to the British wine magazine Decanter between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025, and awarded the maximum score of 100 points, representing half of the 30 perfect scores in total. Twelve (or 40 percent) hail from the USA, two from Italy, and one from Australia. Only five are white wines: two Chardonnays (from Australia and Oregon, USA) and three made from the Roussanne grape (from the Rhône Valley). Decanter published the list of wines on December 26 without any apparent specific order. Here they are, organized by country, with the French wines further categorized by region:
