🏆 TOP 5 🏆 Cabernet Sauvignon: globetrotter, seducer, wine of honor

It's the second-most popular grape variety in France, but number one on the planet. Cabernet Sauvignon is a bit like the Edith Piaf of red grapes: national star, international legend. It grows everywhere, in every language, and is found in the finest wineries as well as everyday bottles. In short, a grape variety with character that doesn't do things by halves—a little history before our selection! 🚀

The hidden son of the vine 🍇

It was believed to be naturally noble, but it is above all the fruit of a botanical love affair between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, a discreet connection revealed by Californian science in the 1990s. Since then, we know that it combines structure and freshness, power and vegetal charm. Its dense juice, its thick skin, its sometimes minty taste: a grape variety with a punch, reflecting its greatest successes in Pauillac or the Blaye region.

The James Bond of grape varieties 💪

At home everywhere, always in good company. Cabernet Sauvignon is the secret agent of red wine: it adapts to all warm climates, shining solo or in a team, often with Merlot or Syrah. From Bordeaux to Napa Valley, via Australia or Lebanon, it imposes its style: tannic, racy, sometimes peppery, light, funky or with bubbles, it's a grape variety that can age well! At home, it's often featured in our blends, sometimes as a majority, sometimes as a minority, but above all: always a winner! 🍷
