Roussanne

Roussanne Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: This is a "heavier" white, which makes it great for the fall and winter months, or as a summer aperitif. The oak helps this wine stand up to richer fish dishes, as long as one uses a light hand with the lemon garni!

Varietal Definition
Roussanne:
Also known as Bergeron in the french Savoie region. Semi-classic grape grown in the Hermitage-Rhone and southern Cotes du Rhone region of France. Still occasionally incorporated into white wine blends, (e.g: with the Marsanne grape wine), because of its acidity and aroma but finding less and less favor.
