Chambourcin is often blended with Cabernet Franc in the Loire Valley, but is passed off as being a Cabernet Franc Rosé due to regulations.
Chambourcin resembles Cabernet Franc and can produce medium-bodied red wines, sharing some similar spice, herbal character, and dark red fruit notes.
This grape is much more forgiving in the field, requiring less fungicide and offering disease resistance, with the ability to yield secondary crops.
The development of Chambourcin aimed to create a grape that thrives in challenging climates, reflecting its versatility and suitability for winemaking.
