Born of a marriage between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, this grape variety has conquered vineyards the world over; in the Loire, it shows a softer side. In Chinon and Saumur, it produces full-bodied reds, with a freshness typical of the region. This grape variety has crossed the centuries to become a global icon, but in the Loire, it remains true to its roots, with wines that combine strength and finesse.
