white grape
Roussanne
Warm sun with cooling mistral winds; thrives on granitic slopes of the northern Rhône.
Known as: Roussanne
Roussanne is the perfumed, nervy partner to Marsanne, adding apricot florals and a lovely herb-and-tea lift to the great whites of the northern Rhône.
When topped by the mistral on steep granite slopes it produces age-worthy whites of extraordinary balance and surprising power.
For the buyer, Roussanne is the connoisseur's white — aromatic, structured and endlessly food-versatile.
