Cabernet Franc may be the parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, but in France’s Loire Valley it tells a completely different story. Join Whitney for a focused deep dive into one of the world’s most expressive red grapes as we explore four distinct Loire Valley Cabernet Francs.
From the gravelly soils of Chinon, across the river to Bourgueil, and to the limestone rich vineyards of Saumur Champigny, you will see how terroir, climate, and cellar choices shape everything from bright red fruit and savory herbs to structured, age worthy bottlings.
Expect a thoughtful conversation about whole cluster fermentation, Loire acidity, and why this grape thrives in cooler climates. If you love reds with energy, nuance, and a little earthy edge, this class will expand your perspective on what Cabernet Franc can be.
