Cabernet Francis a parent of Cabernet Sauvignon.
A cross of it with Sauvignon Blanc resulted in Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc tends to be softer and has less tannins than Cabernet Sauvignon, although the two can be difficult to distinguish. Many of the red wines of the Loire are primarily Cabernet Franc.

JEROBOAM Château Barrejat, Madiran 2022
This jeroboam is huge, holding six and two thirds bottles of wine, and as such these spectacular bottles are fun for parties (though hard to pour!) or as gifts.
Wines from Madiran, an appellation in the south-west of France well south of Bordeaux, traditionally had a reputation for being dark, tannic and leathery. This blend of local grape Tannat (about 60%) with Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc (20% each) is anything but that: it's beautifully ripe and silky - the best country wine you could imagine. In this sunny vintage it evinces black-fruited aromas followed by a gorgeous mouthful of red and black fruit backed by a weave of supple tannins. Honest, dry and savoury, terrific with any meat dish, very more-ish and deservedly a best seller. Now-2028
"Lively blackish crimson. Firm, rich, some but not excessive tannin. Very sappy and refreshing. Arguably more interesting than a red bordeaux at this excellent price. Juicy but structured. Should last well. In fact, if you ever needed a snip of a Jéroboam (5-litre bottle) for a celebration in 2028, go for this! Long. GV.16.5+/20, Drink 2025-2033" Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com, 1st August 2025
