The Cabernet Franc

English
 The Cabernet Franc

It is the king of grapes in Touraine, where it is commonly known as "Beurton"- pronounced "bur-tawn" with a slightly rolled "r".

Very few wines in the world are made from pure Cabernet franc. As it suffers from extreme heat, it is usually grown in temperate regions. It can only develop its flavours and delicacy in stable climatic conditions.

The invariably mild temperatures of the Loire valley - also known as the garden of France - suit it marvellously. They allow Chinon wines to develop wonderfully fruity and floral aromas, from wild straberry, raspberry, and redcurrant to violet, wallflower, and peony.

And if one waits until the finest vins de gardes (wines for keeping) and exceptional vintages reach their optimal maturity, it will offer a unique bouquet, including truffle, undergrowth, and musk.
