Exploring the World of Cabernet Sauvignon with Andrew Marc

The Origins of a Legendary Grape Variety

Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the most renowned grape varieties in the world, has its roots in Bordeaux, France. The story begins in the 18th century when Dutch traders brought Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc to the region, which eventually led to the creation of this iconic blend.

The unique terroir of Bordeaux, with its rich soil and ideal climate, allowed the grape variety to flourish. It's no surprise that some of the world's most prestigious wines are made from Cabernet Sauvignon, such as Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Latour.

The Evolution of Cabernet Sauvignon in the New World

As the world began to change, so did the grape variety's trajectory. In the late 19th century, Phylloxera devastated Europe's vineyards, and many winemakers turned to the Americas for new roots. This marked the beginning of Cabernet Sauvignon's journey in the New World.

Fast-forward to the present day, and it's astonishing to see how far this grape variety has come. From Napa Valley to Tuscany, we're witnessing a renaissance of sorts, with winemakers pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
