Chambourcin is excellent with pork, chicken, turkey, and savory sauces. We love it with mushrooms, lean cuts of beef, savory dishes, and pizza. Any dish involving dark chocolate will pair well.
the grape
Chambourcin (pronounced ‘SHAM-bore-sin’) was created in 1954 by French biochemist Joannes Seyve, using French and American grapes. Hybrids, as these crosses are now known, have the cold tolerance of American grapes and the wine characteristics of European varieties. New York and Virginia introduced Chambourcin to the US in the 1960’s. Now you can find it growing throughout the Midwestern states and Southern Plains. Chambourcin thrives in the harsh Oklahoma winters, blistering hot summers, and ferric clay soil (a.k.a. red dirt). The resulting wines are special, luscious, and refined. Many compare the Sabatia Chambourcin to a quality Pinot Noir. From the first sip, you’ll understand why we consider Chambourcin our signature red grape.
