Marselan
Imagine a grape variety that combines the best of both worlds – that's Marselan . A cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache , it unites the elegance of one with the robustness of the other. Its small, tightly packed grapes yield wines with an intense dark color, an alluring aroma of blackberries and black cherries, and subtle spice notes. On the palate, it reveals soft, velvety tannins and a pleasant freshness – approachable yet full of character.
Bred in 1961 in southern France , and long a well-kept secret, Marselan is now enjoying a well-deserved renaissance – not only in its homeland, but also in other wine regions around the world. At Vinoscout, you'll discover three carefully selected Marselan wines in a price range of €6.66 to €13.90 – an ideal introduction to this fascinating variety.

Marselan – a cross with character
Marselan is not an old traditional variety, but a deliberate cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache – and that is exactly what makes it so interesting. The wines typically show a strong, dark color and bring fruit and structure together in a balanced ratio: ripe, dark berry fruit meets pleasantly soft tannins without appearing heavy or overloaded.
At home in the south of France
Marselan feels particularly at home in the Southern French climate, where warm summers help the variety to fully unfold its fruitiness. It is no wonder, then, that the wines in our range come from this region – including a rosé from the renowned Domaine Tariquet, which shows how versatile the variety can be.
Discover Marselan at Vinoscout
Our small, fine range includes three wines between 6.66 and 13.90 EUR – from an accessible entry-level to a somewhat more ambitious pleasure. With the L'Odalet Marselan Syrah, you will find an exciting cuvée that combines Marselan with Syrah. Those looking for something special should reach for the Just Fucking Good Wine Red from Neleman – the name says it all. And the Tariquet Rosé proves that Marselan also convinces as a rosé. Perfect if you want to get to know a variety off the beaten track without having to dig deep into your pockets.
