Roussanne

Roussanne Wine Details
Price: $17.95 per bottle

Description: Roussanne has the potential to be the best white grape in Texas. This is a great example of why that is true.

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.
