Deeply coloured, fruity reds with a dense purple robe, supple tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, soft spice and earthy notes. Round palate; best young or short ageing. A very cold- and mildew-resistant interspecific variety, driving viticulture in northern regions: Canada (Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia) and the northeastern US. Hybrid created in 1911 by Eugène Kuhlmann in Alsace, named in honour of Marshal Foch.
New England wine state, glacial soils (schist, gneiss, loam). Coast tempered by Long Island Sound, favouring Bordeaux varieties. Signature Cabernet Franc: elegant and peppery with signature notes of raspberry, red cherry, red pepper, violet, fresh herbs and a spicy touch, fine tannins and fresh palate — friendly cool-climate style. Round Merlot (plum, cherry).
