Chambourcin

Chambourcin Wine Details
Price: $15.99 per bottle

Description: Vibrant aromas and flavors of toffee, black currant and cherry compote set off by plenty of smoky, toasty oak and a hint of black pepper. Medium-bodied with soft tannins and a lingering finish. Chambourcin perfectly complements grilled meats, pastas in rich red sauces and ripe cheeses such as Brie or Camembert.

Varietal Definition
Chambourcin:
A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
