Chancellor is a red wine grape varietal that can be traced back to France. This variety is mostly grown in cooler areas and is considered quite versatile, able to be used in red wine blends or for making sparkling wine, rose, and even some dessert wines. It is generally known for its deep purple color and its aromas and flavors of dark berries, spice, and sometimes a hint of tobacco. Wines from the Chancellor varietal often have medium acidity and tannins. Despite its French origins, it is now commonly grown in the northeast of the USA, Canada, and other parts of the world with cooler climates.
