Red · Medium · Dry
The cooler-climate sibling of Cabernet Sauvignon — leaner, more aromatic, with notes of bell pepper, raspberry, and graphite. The Loire's Chinon and Bourgueil do it best.
Why it works with Brie Appetizer
Cabernet Franc's mid-weight handles Brie Appetizer without overpowering it — neither pulls focus.
