Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc
Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet-Sauvignon which means that it is also well planted further north, as far as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.

The wine region of Limarí Valley
Wine valley in northern Chile 20 km from the Pacific, bordering the Atacama. Limestone soils rare in Chile and coastal "Camanchaca" fog bring minerality and tension. Signature Chardonnay in white: fine and mineral with hallmark notes of lemon, white apple, white flowers, soft vanilla and a chalky saline touch, taut long palate — barrel-aged. Brilliant Syrah: spicy and saline near the coast (pepper, black olive), fruity inland.
The wine region of Coquimbo
Chile's northernmost wine region (600 km north of Santiago), covering the Elqui, Limarí and Choapa valleys under a semi-desert climate cooled by the Pacific Camanchaca fog and the Andes. Syrah is the flagship red — intense blackcurrant, blackberry, black pepper, olive and a mineral-saline altitude edge, fine tannins and elegant freshness. Structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Taut Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc with citrus notes.
