Marsanne 2022

Pierre Gaillard's Marsanne is produced in the Rhône Valley, France, a renowned region for quality white wines. The vineyards benefit from a continental climate with Mediterranean influences, contributing to the grape's ripening and flavor development.

The wine is made exclusively from the Marsanne grape variety, known for producing rich and aromatic white wines with good aging potential.

The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and quality. Vinification involves gentle pressing followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh and aromatic character of the Marsanne grape. Some aging may occur in oak barrels to add complexity and texture.

• Appearance: Pale golden yellow with bright reflections.
• Aroma: Intense and complex nose featuring notes of white flowers, ripe pear, honey, and subtle hints of toasted almonds.
• Palate: Full-bodied and smooth with a rich texture, balanced acidity, and flavors of stone fruits, citrus zest, and a touch of minerality.
• Finish: Long and elegant finish with lingering fruity and nutty nuances.

This Marsanne pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, enhancing both simple and refined meals:

• Grilled or roasted white meats such as chicken or pork
• Seafood dishes including scallops, lobster, and grilled fish
• Rich creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert
• Vegetable gratins and dishes with mild spices
• Lightly spiced Asian cuisine
