Amboise
[ahm-BWAHZ]
A quaint little town in France’s TOURAINE AC that produces higher-quality wine and is allowed to append its name to the label Touraine-Amboise. The white wines are made from CHENIN BLANC and resemble those from VOUVRAY. The red and ROSÉ wines are made from CABERNET FRANC, GAMAY, and MALBEC. The Touraine province is known as the “château country,” and Amboise has a well-known château that’s quite popular.
