Roussanne

Roussanne Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: My third vintage, and the great white grape of the Rhône valley still amazes me. Flowers, honey, peach, and wet stones on the nose; structured and powerful, and yet still elegant, in the mouth. Serve with rich, complex dishes (get out the butter and heavy cream).

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.
