Grape

Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier

Origin
The 'Marin' is a southern wind that blows into the Languedoc from the Meditterranean, usually bringing rain. This wine is named after the more desirable 'Marin Blanc': the same southerly wind but without the rain, which offers far more favourable grape growing conditions.
Taste
This wine treads a brilliantly fine line between freshness of acidity and richness of fruit, with punchy melon, pear and pineapple flavours delivered in a crisp, clean package.
Enjoy
Great to drink on its own, or with pâtés and smoked cheeses.

    White peach, citrus fruits and fennel all in a glass!

    Several years ago I enjoyed a picnic facing this château but never visited it. So this was a great opportunity to try one of their wines! It has a lovely floral nose with a hint of barrel-fermentation. On the palate it has lovely mouthfeel - soft and slightly oily - with white peach and citrus flavours leading into hints of fennel and liquorice at the finish. There is good acidity and great length. If you like white Rhône, you'll love this - similar flavours but more elegant and less heavy. Excellent!

    Excellent example of Marsanne

    Love it! On my second order - lovely melon/peach/honeysuckle on the nose with a long, satisfying finish. Excellent with chicken dishes or fish with strongish sauces such as cod with cheese sauce.

  • Escape from Chardonnay

    "This blend of Rhone white varieties has a classic nose of blossom and stone fruit. The palate has a slightly oily texture which adds body and complexity to what can be a hard blend to make outside of the Rhone. A great match to Roast Chicken for those looking for an alternative Chardonnay."
