A pure, naturally expressive Marsanne combining ripe orchard fruit, delicate florals and gentle spice with a rounded texture, mineral tension and a fresh, savoury finish.

Tasting notes

Appearance: Bright pale yellow with subtle golden reflections.

Nose: Delicate yet expressive, showing white and yellow flowers, ripe pear and stone fruit, followed by touches of honey, almond and gentle spice.

Palate: Supple and rounded on entry, displaying the naturally generous texture of Marsanne. Ripe fruit and floral flavours are balanced by fresh mineral tension, keeping the wine lively rather than heavy. Subtle bitters and spice contribute complexity, leading to a clean, savoury and persistent finish.

Style: A very approachable Northern Rhône white: fruit-driven, rounded and gastronomic, but with sufficient freshness and minerality to retain precision.

Food pairing

Marsana's combination of roundness and freshness makes it excellent with grilled sea bass • monkfish • scallops • prawns • roast poultry • chicken with apricots • vegetable terrines • Mediterranean vegetables • creamy risotto • fresh goat's cheese • Comté.

A particularly interesting pairing is poultry with apricot or mild North African spices: the wine's stone-fruit character and subtle spice complement the dish while its mineral freshness prevents the combination from becoming too rich.
