French Cabernet Franc is a red wine grape variety that’s most notably grown in the Loire Valley and Bordeaux regions of France. In the Loire Valley, it’s the primary grape behind the red wines of Chinon and Bourgueil. In Bordeaux, it’s often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Cabernet Franc wines are typically medium-bodied, with high acidity and moderate tannins. They are known for their aromas and flavours of red fruit like raspberry and red currant, often with notes of bell pepper, violet, and graphite. If you enjoy red wines that are fresh, versatile, and have a hint of herbaceous character, wines made from or featuring French Cabernet Franc could be a great choice for you.
