Happy Chambourcin Month! This month we celebrate this smooth medium-bodied Missouri varietal. No matter which Missouri Chambourcin is your favorite, grab a glass then pour another, this wine is perfect for sharing!
Chambourcin (sham-bor-san) is a red French-American hybrid grape that is recognized as a rising star when it comes to hybrid grape varieties. It is known for its rich color that adds depth to many red blends. One thing that makes Chambourcin unique is that it is known as a teinturier grape (from the French word for “dye”) which is known for producing dark juice, rather than clear.
The nose will often pick up notes of cherry and a light oak while it will taste earthy on the palate with strong notes of dark cherry.
When sipping this wine, Chambourcin is a smooth, medium-bodied wine with soft and subtle tannins.
Pair it with pork loin, burgers, short ribs, red sauce, mushrooms, applesauce, strawberries, figs, brie, camembert, walnuts, cobbler, chocolate cake.
Use Chambourcin when cooking with these delicious recipes varying from sweet to savory!
