Outer Coastal Plain Chambourcin Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: The 2010 vintage was finished in American Oak for 12 months. It is best characterized as a medium-bodied Beaujolais style red with a slightly peppery finish. The best pairings for the Chambourcin’s unique finish are sharper cheeses (esp. blue veined), duck or lamb dishes, Caesar salad and pasta marinara sauce.

Varietal Definition

A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
