Chambourcin is a French hybrid red grape variety developed in the 1960s by crossing Seibel 13666 and Landal 244. It is known for producing medium-bodied wines with good color and structure, and is particularly valued in cooler climates where it ripens reliably.
Flavors & Aromas
Dark cherry, plum, blackberry, with subtle herbal and spicy notes. The wines often display earthy undertones and moderate tannins.
Winemaking & Aging
Chambourcin produces wines with good acidity and moderate alcohol levels, typically 12-13%. The grape is disease-resistant and cold-hardy, making it well-suited to challenging growing conditions. Wines age moderately well, developing complexity over 3-5 years, though they are also approachable when young.
