Is there a word for when you exaggerate a limited sample to give a fact or opinion about a whole population, especially for the purposes of boasting.

e.g. "All French wine is delicious!", said M Pompidou even though he had tasted only a few French wines.

What is he doing here, beyond just exaggerating? Would this be hyperbole?
