Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is grown throughout Bordeaux, although it is only planted irregularly in the Medoc, and increasingly less so in the Graves. It fares best in St. -Emilion and Pomerol in Bordeaux, across the Dordogne river, where the Cabernet Sauvignon is less well Prepresented. Grown under neutral conditions, it might not be easy to distinguish any significant varietal differences between the two Cabernets, but, suited as they are to different situations, the Cabernet franc tends to produce a slightly earthy style of wine that is very aromatic, but has less fine characteristics on the palate when compared to the Cabernet Sauvignon.
