Cabernet Franc常常被視為是Cabernet Sauvignon的配角。我們品酒室的第二場品酒會旨在揭示 Cabernet Franc的可能性，並通過品嚐來自不同風土、不同成熟度的四款葡萄酒，展現這種葡萄釀造的葡萄酒的陳年潛力。

Tawse Winery位於加拿大尼亞加拉半島(Niagara Peninsula)，盛産涼爽氣候的歐洲風格葡萄酒，其Cabernet Franc 可消除了對該地區所産的葡萄難以完全成熟的普遍誤解。

Domaine de la Noblaie 是來自希農(Chinon)的Cabernet Franc 專家，而 Pierre de Tuf 是這酒莊的頂級特釀，透過在15 世紀雕刻在當地 Tuffeau 石灰岩上的大桶中，發酵去梗葡萄而製成的。

接著是Chateau Petit Gravet Aine，酒莊位於波爾多的聖埃美隆(Saint Emilion)產區，種植了80%的Cabernet Franc 和20%的Merlot，是波爾多Cabernet Franc 比例最高的葡萄園之一。

最後我們會返回希農(Chinon)産區，品嚐 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Grezeaux 2000，去了解由Cabernet Franc 葡萄釀製的成熟葡萄酒的魅力。

名額只有 10 個。詳情請參閱海報。

Often a supporting cast to the better known Cabernet Sauvignon, this second tasting at our Tasting Studio seeks to illuminate the possibilities of Cabernet Franc, and illustrates the ageing potential of wines made from this grape by tasting through four wines from different terroir and with different maturity.

Located in the Niagara Peninsula of Canada, Tawse Winery produces cool climate European styled wines, and their Cabernet Franc dispels the misconception that grapes from this region struggle to ripen fully. 

Domaine de la Noblaie is a Cabernet Franc specialist from Chinon, and Pierre de Tuf is the top Cuvée, made by fermenting destemmed grapes in a 15th century vat carved into the local Tuffeau limestone.

We move on then to Chateau Petit Gravet Aine. Located in the Saint Emilion region of Bordeaux, the vineyard is planted to 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot, one of highest proportion of Cabernet Franc in Bordeaux.

We finish the tasting by returning to Chinon, to sample the Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Grezeaux 2000, and to try and understand the appeal of maturing wines made from the Cabernet Franc grape.

Only 10 seats available. Please see the poster for full details.
