Chambourcin is a hybrid grape variety that was developed in the late 20th century in France. It's designed for cooler climates and is resistant to fungal diseases, two qualities that make it highly suited for growing in regions such as the Midwest United States, Australia, and even Canada.
Chambourcin wines have a deep, purplish-red color and are often noted for their spicy aroma. On the palate, they typically reveal a medium to full body, high acidity, and flavors of black cherry, plum, and blackberry, often with earthy or herbal undertones. It has a good tannin structure which enables some versions to age well.
This variety is quite versatile and can be used to make a range of wine styles, including rosé, dry red, semi-sweet, sparkling, and even dessert wines. Traditionally, Chambourcin is often oak-aged, which can impart additional complexity and flavors of vanilla, coffee, or chocolate to the wine. However, the grape's strong character can still shine through even without oak aging.
