Varietal : Roussanne

 
 

About Roussanne

Roussanne is a white wine grape grown originally in the Rhone River, with berries distinguished by their redish-brown, russet color. Traditionally used in blends with Marsanne to make the classic wines Crozes-Hermitage AOC, Hermitage AOC and Saint-Joseph AOC, Rousanne is also allowed in appellation Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC.

Though a difficult variety to grow, with vulnerability to mildew, poor resistance to drought and wind, late and/or uneven ripening, and irregular yields, Roussanne can produce wines with exceptional richness.  Flavors can include honey and pear, and aromas are often flowery with hints of lime and herbal tea.

Popular Regions: Rhone region of France, Tuscany in Italy, Australiaand Washington State in the USA.
