Maréchal Foch

**Maréchal Foch** is a red grape, a French-bred hybrid created in the early twentieth century that has found much of its home in the cooler wine regions of North America. **In the glass** — It gives a deeply coloured, medium-bodied wine of dark berry and plum fruit with earthy, sometimes smoky notes, bright acidity and generally soft tannins. **Where it grows** — Once grown in France, it is now most associated with Canada and the northern and eastern United States, where its hardiness and early ripening suit short, cold-climate growing seasons. **At the table** — Works well with grilled meats, burgers, barbecue and hearty casual fare. **Cellaring** — Most versions are made for early drinking, though riper, oak-aged bottlings can hold for a few years.
