Cabernet Franc is a parent grape to both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but it has a more delicate structure with vibrant red fruit, herbal notes, and a signature peppery finish. It is known for its medium body, silky tannins, and excellent food-pairing capabilities.
The grape thrives in a variety of climates and takes on unique characteristics depending on where it's grown. Here’s a look at Cabernet Franc from different regions:
Cabernet Franc in the Loire Valley, France: In regions like Chinon and Saumur, Cabernet Franc is elegant and light-bodied, with bright red berry flavors, floral aromas, and herbal notes of bell pepper and graphite. These wines pair beautifully with roasted poultry, charcuterie, and goat cheese.
Cabernet Franc in Bordeaux, France: Often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc adds finesse and aromatic complexity to Bordeaux wines. It brings notes of raspberry, violet, and tobacco, making it an excellent complement to grilled meats and rich stews.
Cabernet Franc in California, USA: California’s warm climate produces riper, fruit-forward Cabernet Franc with flavors of dark cherry, plum, and spice. These wines are smooth and approachable, pairing well with barbecued meats, pasta dishes, and roasted vegetables.
Cabernet Franc in Argentina: Argentina is gaining recognition for its bold expressions of Cabernet Franc, which feature deep red fruit flavors, floral aromatics, and earthy minerality. These wines are excellent with grilled steak, empanadas, and hearty stews.
Cabernet Franc in Canada (Niagara & Okanagan): The cooler climate of Canada produces bright, crisp Cabernet Franc with vibrant acidity, red currant flavors, and hints of green pepper. These wines are ideal for pairing with roasted duck, mushroom dishes, and soft cheeses.
