Grown in the cooler regions of the Midwestern, all over the eastern U.S., and in Canada, this French hybrid is highly productive, with good cold hardiness. Once the most planted hybrid in its native France, where it was used to produce quality read more...red and rosé wines, this offspring of two Seibel parents has virtually disappeared from its homeland. Its major disadvantage is its extreme susceptibility to both Downy Mildew and Powdery Mildew. In North America, Chancellor produces fairly unassuming, fruity red wines and blends well with other hybrids.

You have been treated unfairly in your French homeland, Monsieur Chancellor? You were the leader of a party known as the French hybrids, and comfortably resident on significant tracts of land. A leader with an unassuming voice, it seems incredulous that your party has been forbidden by French AOC law. Thank goodness, your voice has found a new home in the land of the free-grape, known as the USofA.    (hide)

Made from estate-grown Chancellor grapes and aged for two years in American Oak before being fortified with brandy. The result is a rich port wine, with notes of cherry and a slightly peppery finish.

A blend of Lemberger, Cabernet Franc and Chancellor, this is a medium-bodied, fairly complex wine. The color is a lovely dark plum and the nose has rich notes of plum. In the mouth the wine opens with notes of spice and...

This is my favorite wine. It is very tart but has so much more character on the palate. I get plums, berries, and caramel on the nose.

A very smooth wine. Very little "bite" to it but not sweet. LOVE this wine.
