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’) is a French-American hybrid, released commercially in 1963 by French biochemist Joannes Seyve. Hybrids have the cold tolerance, disease resistance, or pest resistance of American grape species and the wine characteristics of European. Looking for cold-tolerant wine grapes, New York and Virginia introduced Chambourcin to the US in 1963. Now you can find it growing throughout the Northeast, Midwest, and Southern Plains states. 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 Sabatia Chambourcin to a gentle quality Pinot Noir. From the first sip, you’ll understand why we consider Chambourcin our signature red grape.
