Dry Chambourcin (Joannes-Seyve 26-205) is a late-ripening grape that may produce a highly-rated red wine when the fruit fully matures. It requires a long growing season and a site less subject to low winter temperatures. The large, moderately loose bunches set medium-sized blue berries. The vine is very productive, and cluster thinning is required. Wines from this grape are higher in tannins than other French-American hybrids. Chambourcin
is a full-bodied red wine made in the traditional manner, using the
varietal grape Chambourcin. It makes wines with an intensely dark garnet
color with good fruit flavors. It can produce a wide variety of styles
of wine. Round in the mouth, with a softness that evokes a Merlot. Marries
best with lamb, beef, game, and all the heavier cheeses. Did You know: Chambourcin is quite recent introduction to the grape world, first commercially available in 1963. Its popularity is increasing beyond capacity and the cost of the grapes has sky-rocketed in recent years. Our Chambourcin won best of show in 2002. $14.49/bottle $147.80/case
