Cabernet's Original

Experience the true and original taste of the Cabernet Sauvignon wines with our unique tours of the Bordeaux' region. From St Emilion to Margaux visit some of the most wellknown Chateaux, crafting some of the best wine in the world.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Despite its prominence in the industry, the grape is a relatively new variety, the product of a chance crossing between Cabernet franc and Sauvignon blanc during the 17th century in southwestern France. Its popularity is often attributed to its ease of cultivation - the grapes have thick skins and the vines are hardy and resistant to rot and frost - and to its consistent presentation of structure and flavours which express the typical character ("typicity") of the variety.
