Varietal
Roussanne
Roussanne is a white grape variety originating from the Rhône Valley in France, known for producing aromatic and complex wines. It is often blended with Marsanne to create wines that are full-bodied and richly textured, with flavors of ripe pear, honey, herbal notes, and hints of nuts. Roussanne wines can also exhibit floral aromas such as honeysuckle, along with a characteristic waxy texture that adds to their mouthfeel. What makes Roussanne unique is its ability to age gracefully, developing deeper flavors and a more pronounced aromatic profile over time. The grape’s low yields and susceptibility to mildew require careful vineyard management, contributing to its reputation as a prized varietal among winemakers in the Rhône Valley and beyond. Roussanne wines pair well with poultry, creamy sauces, and dishes featuring Mediterranean herbs, offering a sophisticated drinking experience.
