Varietal

Marsanne

Marsanne, a venerable white grape variety originating from the Rhône Valley in France, exudes elegance and complexity in its wines. Revered for its ability to age gracefully, Marsanne thrives in the region’s granite and limestone soils, yielding wines of remarkable depth and character.

Marsanne wines are renowned for their medium to full body, rich texture, and nuanced flavors of ripe pear, honeydew melon, and nuts, often with hints of floral and herbal notes. With its balanced acidity and subtle minerality, Marsanne offers a sophisticated palate that pairs seamlessly with a variety of dishes, from seafood and poultry to creamy pasta and risotto.

As interest in Rhône varietals grows, Marsanne continues to captivate enthusiasts with its timeless allure and undeniable charm, embodying the essence of French winemaking tradition.
