Roussanne

Roussanne Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: Our Roussanne is dry and exceptionally aromatic. Grapefruit, lemon-lime, and nectarines bombard the aroma. On the palette, this wine is full of herbaceous tea-like aromas and melt in your mouth candy lemon drop flavors. The delicate mineral notes of this wine pair well with veal, light fish, or even chicken potpie. This refreshing wine is nice anytime of the year.

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.
