what does sauvignon mean?

Question

i think its a wine

Answer 1

At least three grape varieties have the word Sauvignon in their name.

The two most famous are Sauvignon Blanc (a white grape) and Cabernet Sauvignon (a red grape which is the result of a cross between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc.) There is also Sauvignon Vert aka Sauvignonasse.

When people say just Sauvignon they are probably referring to a white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc.

(But some of the worlds best wines are made from a blend that includes Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and when talking about the components of the wine people will talk about Franc and Sauvignon)

The word Sauvignon itself has a meaning of 'wild', probably because the Sauvignon Blanc vines were originally found growing wild.

Answer 2

Cabernet Sauvignon is a variety of red grape mainly used for wine production, and is, along with Chardonnay, one of the most widely-planted of the world's grape varieties.

The principal grape in many Bordeaux wines, Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in most of the world's wine regions, although it requires a long growing season to ripen properly and gives low yields. Many of the red wines regarded as among the world's greatest, such as Red Bordeaux, are predominantly made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. World-class examples can improve for decades and remain drinkable for a century.

The particularly thick skin of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape results in wines that can be high in tannin which provides both structure and ageability. This varietal, while frequently aromatic and with an attractive finish, also tends to lack mid-palate richness and so is often blended with lower tannin, but "fleshy" tasting grapes
