Roussanne

A Rhône Valley white with remarkable aging potential, Roussanne delivers layers of stone fruit, beeswax, and almond, often wrapped in a distinctive herbal, tea-like character. Naturally high in acidity, it starts fresh and vibrant before evolving into a richly textured, complex wine with nutty, honeyed notes. Typically blended with Marsanne for balance, it excels in both still and sparkling styles. Found in France, California, and Australia, it responds well to oak aging, adding further spice and depth. A wine of weight and structure, Roussanne pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy dishes, and aged cheeses.
