RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

A red varietal from the Cotoïdes family (Cabernet Franc, Fer Servadou, Prunelard), the Abourou is originally from Lot-et-Garonne, a local variety from the Côtes du Marmandais. Once it was used to mix with Bordeaux for its dark colour to redden its light tints. Locally called “Beaujolais”, Abouriou means “early” in Occitan.
