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.

Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.
