Cabernet franc is grown in California and China, and lots of places in-between, but any conversation about this red grape has to start in France. You’ll find it primarily in the Loire Valley - most notably in the appellations of Chinon, Bourgueil, and Saumur - where it’s made as single varietal wine that tastes spicy and has high acidity. Drive a few hours south of the Loire, and you’ll find France’s other major region for cabernet franc in Bordeaux, blended into some of the most legendary wines on earth.
