I don't understand Cabernet Sauvignon, so I'm embarrassed to find someone to drink.

Cabernet Sauvignon has strong adaptability and is cultivated in all wine-producing countries in the world. Rich in tannins and phenols, it is called "the king of red grape varieties". Many top wines in the world are made from Cabernet Sauvignon, such as the famous Lafite Rothschild Winery, Screaming Eagle and Sascaya. So some people say, "If you don't know about Cabernet Sauvignon, it means that you haven't touched the door of the wine world."

1, the development starting point of Cabernet Sauvignon

The origin of Cabernet Sauvignon has always been a mystery. At present, the earliest historical record of Cabernet Sauvignon is "Livre de raison d'Antoine Feuihade" written in 1763- 1777, which tells that Cabernet Sauvignon was planted in gironde, France, thus verifying that Cabernet Sauvignon probably originated in Gironde.

Before the end of19th century, many people mistook Cabernet Franc for Cabernet Franc, because their fruit size, peel color and maturity were very similar, and the color, aroma and taste of the brewed wine were very similar. 1996, Carol, Department of Grape Cultivation and Wine Making, University of California, Davis? The research team led by Dr. Merediz discovered the true origin of Cabernet Sauvignon through DNA typing. Their research results show that cabernet franc and Bordeaux white grape Sauvignon Blanc naturally crossed in17th century. This is why Cabernet Sauvignon is so similar to Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc in many ways.

/kloc-At the end of 0/8, Cabernet Sauvignon was planted in the vineyards of Bordeaux, and then Bly, the former owner of Rothschild Winery in Mouton? Baron Kate (Baron? Hector? De? Brane) attaches great importance to the potential and charm of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the quality of the brewed wine is really excellent. Later, Cabernet Sauvignon was continuously spread throughout Medoc, thus realizing the famous 1855 Medoc wine classification and bringing Cabernet Sauvignon to the world stage. Later, Cabernet Sauvignon settled with immigrants from the United States, Australia, Chile and South Africa.

2. Grape and wine characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon has small ears, small and dense fruit grains, and late germination and maturity, which is 1-2 weeks later than Cabernet Franc. It is susceptible to powdery mildew and top blight, and is suitable for growing in warm and dry climate. In cold regions, the maturity of Cabernet Sauvignon is poor, and its wine has obvious green flavor.

The skin of Cabernet Sauvignon is relatively thick, the color is dark, and the content of tannins and polyphenols is high. The brewed wine is usually aged in oak barrels. Cabernet Sauvignon wine often has the flavors of blackcurrant, black cherry, bell pepper, mint and tobacco, with rich fruit aroma, strong tannins, full-bodied and heavy body, and great aging potential, some of which can last for about 50 years. There will be aromas of cedar, truffle, vanilla and coffee after aging.

3. Cabernet Sauvignon wine types

(1) Single wine type: It usually appears in some hot and warm producing areas such as Napa Valley and Kunavara, which makes Cabernet Sauvignon have high maturity, strong tannins, full body and complex layers.

(2) Blending wine type: Most single varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon wine always lack charm and richness, and lack substances that are balanced with strong tannins and dark colors, so they are often blended with other varieties, such as Bordeaux Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which can provide rich fruit flavor. Cabernet Franc can increase the body and improve the complexity of the wine, and can also be blended with Italian Sangiovese. Mixed Cabernet Sauvignon wine has more complex aroma, strong and smooth body, complex layering and long aftertaste than single wine.

Good Cabernet Sauvignon wines are always aged in oak barrels, and the time varies from several months to two years, depending on the wine style and the preferences of winemakers. In close contact with oak barrels, oak itself and the smell after baking, tannins and other substances can enhance the aroma, taste and complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Moreover, the wood of oak is tight and watertight, and contains many tiny pores. During storage, slight ventilation slowly oxidizes the wine, thus enhancing the complexity of aroma and improving the dry taste.

4. Famous producing areas of Cabernet Sauvignon wine

Cabernet Sauvignon is cultivated in many countries and producing areas in the world, and it will show different flavor characteristics in different climates.

(1) Bordeaux, France

The planting area of French Cabernet Sauvignon is about 56,000 hectares, nearly half of which is planted in Bordeaux, France, which is the most classic producing area of Cabernet Sauvignon. In Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon is often blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Little Vito and malbec, but the blending ratio on the left bank and the right bank is different.

① Left bank: Cabernet Sauvignon is dominant, and the ratio of Merlot to Cabernet Franc is relatively low. The vineyard is covered with gravel with good drainage, which provides excellent conditions for the growth of Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon produced here has thick tannins, high wine weight, high acidity and obvious blackcurrant aroma, and most of them are aged in small French oak barrels. Among them, Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Medoc and Graves are the most famous, such as 6 1 winery in Medoc and Graves' winery.

Famous Wineries: Lafite, Magu Winery, Upper Briant Winery, Latour Winery and Mouton. Among them, latour and Akebia are famous for planting Cabernet Sauvignon in a large area. About three out of every four grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Cabernet Sauvignon wine produced is strong, mellow and complex.

② Right bank: Merlot is dominant, and Cabernet Sauvignon is relatively rare. The Cabernet Sauvignon here is also growing well. The brewed wine is not as strong as the left bank, the wine body is more supple and delicate, and the level change is equally complicated. The aging potential is also very strong, especially in Pomelo and Saint Emilion, and the quality of Cabernet Sauvignon is excellent.

Famous wineries: Aosong Winery and Pavel Winery are two top wineries on the right bank. The Cabernet Sauvignon wine produced is full, thick, smooth and delicate, just like a tough guy, with soft heart and great aging potential, which can generally be aged for 20-50 years.

(2) languedoc-Lu Xirong

Cabernet Sauvignon is the fifth largest grape variety in Languedoc-roussillon region, and its planting area is about 1.87 million hectares. It is the largest producing area of Cabernet Sauvignon except Bordeaux. Because of the hot climate in this producing area, the cabernet sauvignon often needs irrigation, and the overall quality of the produced cabernet sauvignon wine is not high, with the flavor of herbs, and the complexity of the wine body is not enough, because the wine farmers here lack confidence and focus on brewing top-class cabernet sauvignon wine, and more are pursuing yield. However, a few wineries are brave enough to brew top-class Cabernet Sauvignon wines, such as Mas de Daumas Gassac and Domaine de laGrange des Peres in Granci.

Well-known winery: Mademaga Sa Jia winery is a famous winery in languedoc-Luxirong. It only uses organic cultivation to make wine, refuses to use any chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and only uses organic fertilizer produced by ewes to grow grapes. The Cabernet Sauvignon wine brewed by the winery is only made from grapes with high maturity and good quality carefully selected by hand. After the first listing of 1978, it was well received.

③ Provence

The planting area of Cabernet Sauvignon in Provence is about 3500 hectares, and it is mainly mixed with Syrah to make red wine or pink wine. When making pink wine, the mixing ratio of Cabernet Sauvignon is generally low. The quality of Cabernet Sauvignon here is far less than that of Bordeaux, and the wine body is relatively not thick enough and the level is not complicated enough.

Well-known winery: Domaine de Trevallon is a famous winery in Provence, and 65,438+05 hectares of land is used to grow excellent quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes. The winery adheres to the planting and brewing concept of "reflecting the charm of the local customs to the greatest extent". When using any fertilizer, no stalks are removed, artificial yeast and sulfur dioxide are not added. Its Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are perfectly balanced, presenting the essence of Provence, which is a must for any consumer who really likes good wine.

(4) Southwest producing areas

Cabernet Sauvignon is also grown in southwest France and is usually used to make dry red wine or pink wine. In Viqueira and Buze, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most important grape variety, which is mostly used to make dry red wine. In Gaillac and Fronton producing areas, Cabernet Sauvignon is mixed with Negrette to increase its sense of structure; In Bearn, Irouleguy and Madurand, it is mixed with Tannat to increase the complexity and feeling of the structure.

⑤ Loire Valley

The planting area of Cabernet Sauvignon in Loire Valley is about 1300 hectares, but it is far less than Cabernet Sauvignon because it is difficult to mature in this producing area. Cabernet Sauvignon is an important grape variety in Anjou. In Bourgueil and Chinon, Cabernet Sauvignon is sometimes mixed with Cabernet Franc to make dry red wine.

(6) Italy

In Italy, Cabernet Sauvignon was first introduced to Piedmont in1938+1920s, and then it became popular in Italy. By 2000, the planting area of Cabernet Sauvignon had reached 8,000 hectares, and even the "wine king" Saxikaya was brewed from Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is now planted in various producing areas in Italy.

(1) Piedmont: Cabernet Sauvignon is often mixed with Babela in this region, which mainly increases the wine body structure, complexity and aging potential. The main famous wines are Darmagi Gaja and Albert? Bettley Shaershan (Alberto Bertelli's My Blessed Saletti) and others.

(2) Toscana: In this producing area, Cabernet Sauvignon is mainly mixed with Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese, which can improve the body of local Sangiovese wine and boost its international image. This practice is common in super Tuscany, classic Chianti and DOC wines, but it is not allowed in Brunello Rotini wines. Xi Shi Jia Ya is the earliest pioneer in blending Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany. Later, famous wineries such as solea, Sammarco, Boobyer and Le Maichior began to follow suit.

(3) Emilia-Romagna: The wines of Libro Grdo in this producing area are also made from certain Cabernet Sauvignon.

④ Veneto (Lisong-Maggiore) DOC wine is also brewed with a certain proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Well-known winery: Xi Shi Jia Ya, known as the "king of Italian wine", is a pioneer and leader in brewing super Tuscany by mixing Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Full-bodied, with solid tannins, strong black berries and mint flavor, the aging potential is outstanding. It is one of the few Cabernet Sauvignon wines in Italy that can rival Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is also used in the wines of the other three wine kings: Gaya, Suraya and Onera.

(7) Spain

In Spain, many big-name wine producers also like Cabernet Sauvignon more and more. /kloc-In the mid-9th century, Riskar in rioja and Vega Sicily in Ribeira were the first Spanish wines to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. In the 1960s, Michael? Miguel torres and Jean Leon introduced Cabernet Sauvignon to Penedes. Later, Spanish wine farmers gradually realized the potential and advantages of Cabernet Sauvignon varieties, especially after seeing the excellent mixed wine brewed by Becca Cecilia winery, they began to plant Cabernet Sauvignon one after another. In 2008, the total planting area of Spanish Cabernet Sauvignon was about 1.95 million hectares, while in 2004 it was only about 1.00 million hectares. In just four years, the planting area has increased by 1 times.

On the banks of the Duero River, Cabernet Sauvignon is often mixed with local variety Tan Planus Lo, mainly to increase the body, fullness, gradation and aging potential of Tan Planus Lo wine. Mixed Cabernet Sauvignon is also brewed in many DO producing areas, such as Navarra, Montano and La Mancha. Cabernet Sauvignon can also be seen in Andalusia at high altitude. In the Priorat region, some wine farmers also mixed a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon to improve the wine body and complexity.

Well-known wineries: Becca Cecilia Winery is one of the most famous wineries in Spain. Its Unico wine, also known as the "king of wine" in Spain, is a mixture of 80% Danbo and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, usually aged in oak barrels for more than 65,438+00 years, with excellent quality. 1962 Baca Cecilia Unico wine is evaluated by Parker and is also called century wine in Spain.

(8) Portugal

In Portugal, Cabernet Sauvignon is relatively rare, with a total planting area of only about 2,200 hectares. Mainly used to blend some rich red wine and local grape varieties. Palmeira and Teju in Tuba Peninsula are the most famous producing areas of Cabernet Sauvignon.

(9) Germany

Due to the cold climate in Germany, the maturity of Cabernet Sauvignon is poor, and the corresponding planting amount is also low, mainly concentrated in warmer producing areas such as Pfalcz and Baden. In recent years, the planting area of Cabernet Sauvignon in these producing areas has been increasing.

(10) Austria

The planting amount of Cabernet Sauvignon in Austria is about 520 hectares, which is the third largest red grape variety, second only to Blaufrankisch and Zweigelt. Cabernet Sauvignon is mainly concentrated in Bruggenland, and is often mixed with other local varieties. The overall quality is relatively average, and the complexity and aging potential are not as good as those of France and Italy.

(1 1) Eastern Europe

(1) Bulgaria: Cabernet Sauvignon is an important grape variety in this country, with an area of about 65,438+06,000 hectares, accounting for 65,438+05% of the total grape planting area, mainly concentrated in the southern producing areas, but the Cabernet Sauvignon produced in the northern producing areas will be more delicate. Bulgarian wine farmers have great determination and confidence. As a whole, the quality of Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon is getting better and better, so as to brew excellent mixed wine like Bordeaux.

(2) Ukraine: Cabernet Sauvignon is also widely cultivated in Ukraine, reaching about 8,500 hectares, and has become one of the most important red grape varieties in the country.

④ Romania: The planting area of Cabernet Sauvignon is about 365,438+000 hectares, which is less than Merlot.

On the whole, the output of Cabernet Sauvignon in Eastern Europe is large, but the maturity is not high, and the quality of the wine produced is far less than that of France and other producing countries. In recent years, some quality-seeking wineries have gradually emerged in Eastern Europe, and the quality of Cabernet Sauvignon wine is also slowly improving.

(12) California, USA

California is the most successful region of Cabernet Sauvignon except Bordeaux. California Cabernet Sauvignon is the largest red grape variety with an area of about 78,000 hectares, mainly concentrated in Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley and Alexandria Valley. The hot and warm weather in California makes the maturity of Cabernet Sauvignon very high. Usually, the Cabernet Sauvignon here does not need to be mixed with other varieties to increase the body and complexity, and it has high performance. The brewed wine is usually dark in color, and its alcohol content is higher than that of Bordeaux, exceeding 65,438+03.5%. It exudes aromas such as blackcurrant, blackberry jam, plum and tobacco, with soft and strong tannins, full and complex body structure and excellent quality.

Since 1976, the Cabernet Sauvignon in California began to rank among the top in the world, and the most famous Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa Valley.

(13) Other producing areas in the United States

Besides California, Cabernet Sauvignon also grows in Oregon, Washington and new york.

Oregon: The planting area of Cabernet Sauvignon is about 520 hectares, but due to the cold local climate, the maturity of Cabernet Sauvignon is not high, and it often has obvious green odor.

(2) Washington State: Cabernet Sauvignon has become the most important red grape variety in Washington State, with a planting area of over 65,438+00,000 hectares. The Cabernet Sauvignon produced here is fruity, lively and strong, slightly more energetic than California Cabernet Sauvignon, but its fullness, complexity and aging potential are not as good as California Cabernet Sauvignon.

③ new york: The planting area of Cabernet Sauvignon is about 140 hectares, mainly in Long Island. Influenced by California wine farmers, the wine farmers here like to age single Cabernet Sauvignon in brand-new French oak barrels or American oak barrels for a long time. Therefore, although the amount of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in this area is small, the wine quality is high.

(14) Canada

The planting area of Cabernet Sauvignon is about 680 hectares, but due to the extremely cold local climate, it is not suitable for brewing Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine. So many wineries brew Cabernet Sauvignon into ice wine. Canadian Cabernet Sauvignon ice wine has rich fruit aroma, full and delicate taste and complex layers.

Its blended wine has deep color, complex and rich aroma, thick and thick, strong wine body and rich and compact tannins. Marguerite River grapes ripen quickly because it is warm and rainy here, and the fruit sugar, tannin and polyphenols ripen faster. Brewed wine has stronger tannin structure, fuller body and higher alcohol content than Bordeaux wine. However, due to the low acidity, the balance and fineness of the wine body are not as good as Bordeaux wine, and it is not as durable as Bordeaux wine.

5. Drinking and catering of Cabernet Sauvignon wine

When drinking Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine, it is not suitable to eat delicate dishes, because the rich taste of Cabernet Sauvignon will completely cover up the taste of the dishes themselves, and people will not appreciate the characteristics of the dishes themselves. Protein and dishes with high fat content can soften the tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon and coordinate with its complex flavor.

Young dry red Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect match with barbecue dishes, because the burnt taste of barbecue and the astringent taste of Cabernet Sauvignon tannins can neutralize each other and greatly reduce the bitterness of each other, such as steak, lamb chops, roasted pigeon and so on. The general edible temperature is 16- 18℃.

After aging, the tannins in Cabernet Sauvignon will gradually become round and supple, so that Cabernet Sauvignon can be paired with many simple dishes, including pheasant, stewed beef or stewed ribs. The general drinking temperature is 14- 16℃.
