Description
Tank sample tasted at the winery.
It’s rare to find Marsanne in the Southern Rhône. It is not a permitted variety hence why this is designated as an IGP. The warm vintage has resulted in a glorious nose of honeyed apricot and ripe peach. The palate has all the anticipated richness held in check by a fine line of saline minerality. This is, once again, excellent.

About this wine
Marsanne
Marsanne is the predominant white grape variety grown in the Northern Rhône where it is used to produce white St. Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, and Hermitage. It is a tricky grape to cultivate, being susceptible to diseases and being particularly sensitive to extreme climatic changes - if growing conditions are too cool, then it fails to ripen fully and produces thin, insipid wines, while, if too hot, the resultant wines are blowsy, overblown and out of balance.
