L’abus d’alcool est dangereux pour la santé. A consommer avec modération.
Cabernet Sauvignon is known for its structure and vigorous tannins but also lovely deep aromas such as blackcurrant, liquorice, and after some ageing the finesse of underwood. Thanks to its low alcohol content, this grape has a great capacity to age.
Production area
Well exposed plots of land with a preference for Graves.
Description
The clusters are rather small with leaves that are relatively round and shiny. The lobes overlap and give the Impression that they have holes in them. Cabernet sauvignon vines are recognizable by their young red leaves.
According to tests, Cabernet Sauvignon was a former cross between Sauvignon and Cabernet franc. This was considered as a quality wine in the Medoc and Graves at the beginning of the 19th century. Gradually used in the whole of the country and the end of the 19th century.
