Chambourcin

Chambourcin Wine Details
Price: $9.65 per bottle

Description: Like Poseidon, this is a mighty wine. It is a French hybrid varietal, medium bodied, spicy, dry, and aged in oak. Its dark, ruby color is reminiscent of the lovely Aegean Sea at sunset.

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.
