Marsanne

Marsanne – full-bodied white wines from the northern Rhône Valley

Character and taste

Marsanne is one of the great white grape varieties of the northern Rhône Valley – and one that rewards patience. The wines are full-bodied and dense, with a creamy texture that truly unfolds on the palate. Young Marsanne often shows floral notes and light stone fruit; over time, it develops remarkable depth: wax, honey, and a mineral spice are added. Those looking for white wines with substance and aging potential will find a true alternative to the great Burgundies in Marsanne.

Origin: Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage

The home of Marsanne lies in the appellations around Tain-l'Hermitage in the northern Rhône Valley. Here, on the granite and loess slopes of the Rhône, the most famous white wines from this variety are created – often long-lived, always distinctive.
