Marsanne

General characteristics
A very vigorous, high-yielding grape, which reaches maturity from 15 September. A hardy variety, it grows on hillside areas of low fertility. It does well in warm, stony soils, mainly in the northern part of the Côtes du Rhône region.
Wine-making potential
Marsanne produces powerful wines, of medium acidity. As the wine ages, it develops distinctive floral and hazelnut flavours.
