France forecast wine production will climb 10 percent this year as the Bordeaux region, home to Chateau Margaux and Petrus, recovers from the worst grape harvest in more than two decades.

The 2014 vintage may reach 46.45 million hectoliters (1.23 billion U.S. gallons), the most wine in three years, from 42.37 million hectoliters last year, the Agriculture Ministry said in an online report.
