Cabernet Sauvignon – Power and elegance

Cabernet Sauvignon: the emblematic red grape variety, powerful and structured

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous and widely cultivated red grape varieties in the world. Renowned for its power, pronounced tannic structure, and aging potential, it expresses intense aromas of blackcurrant, black pepper, cedar , and sometimes vegetal or spicy notes. The "Cabernet Sauvignon" collection from Vins de Carole brings together iconic wines from prestigious Bordeaux terroirs, as well as New World wines celebrated for their generous fruitiness and modern character.

Origins and terroirs

Originally from the Bordeaux region, Cabernet Sauvignon is now cultivated all over the world, with varied styles depending on the climate and soil:

• Bordeaux – power, finesse, complexity with blends
• California – rich, round and concentrated wines
• Australia and Chile – a fruity and accessible expression

Characteristics and tasting

Cabernet Sauvignon wines are renowned for their deep color, firm tannins, and excellent aging potential. On the nose, they often offer aromas of dark fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), spices (pepper, licorice), tobacco, and sometimes graphite . On the palate, they boast a beautiful structure, power, and remarkable length. Their balance of acidity and tannins makes them suitable for cellaring for many years.

Food and wine pairings

Cabernet Sauvignon pairs perfectly with rich, structured dishes: grilled or sauced red meats, game, aged cheeses, and spicy dishes. It is also excellent with Mediterranean cuisine and dishes with robust flavors.
