About Cabernet Day
Retail
Ends: Dec 04, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Cabernet Day marks the death anniversary of Cardinal Richelieu on December 4, 1642.
Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the world's most renowned red wine grape varieties, has a rich history steeped in viticulture and winemaking tradition. Contrary to some popular beliefs, Cardinal Richelieu, the 17th-century French statesman, did not play a direct role in creating Cabernet Sauvignon. The grape's history is more scientifically rooted and less tied to specific historical figures than legend might suggest.
The origin of Cabernet Sauvignon engenders speculation. Still, DNA profiling at the University of California, Davis, in the 1990s revealed that it is a cross between two older varieties: Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. This accidental natural crossbreeding likely occurred in the 17th century in southwestern France.
Cabernet Sauvignon's rise to prominence began in the Bordeaux region of France, where it quickly became a key component in Bordeaux blends, valued for its robust structure, deep color, and complex flavors. The grape's ability to thrive in various climates and soils allowed it to spread beyond France to other world regions.
Cardinal Richelieu, known for his influential role in the politics of his time, was indeed involved in viticulture, particularly in his efforts to improve the quality of French wines. However, his efforts were more focused on Burgundy than Bordeaux, and there needs to be direct historical evidence linking him to the development of Cabernet Sauvignon, only a legend that he delivered the first cuttings to create the hybrid grape.
Over time, Cabernet Sauvignon gained a reputation for producing some of the world's finest and most age-worthy wines. Its popularity soared in the 20th century, especially in regions like California's Napa Valley, where it became the star varietal, producing wines of exceptional quality that rivaled those of Bordeaux.
Today, Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in nearly every major wine-producing country, from Italy and Spain to Australia and Chile, making it one of the most widely recognized and respected red wine grapes.
