THE NOBLE HOUSE OF CARMENET.
INTRODUCTION
Carmenet is an old Medoc synonym for Cabernet Franc.
It is also the name given to the Bordeaux family of wine-grape varieties by Levadoux in 1948 in his classification of France’s ampelographical assemblage into eco-georoups, varieties grouped by their region of origin and genetic relationships.
