Saint-Joseph AOC, Rhône, France – Marsanne, Roussanne
Aromatic notes of pear, quince, and white flowers are layered with subtle honeyed notes alongside a distinctive hazelnut nuttiness. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with a rounded texture balanced by fresh acidity and a mineral backbone. Flavours of orchard fruit and gentle spice lead into a smooth, persistent finish. Often aged with lees contact and some oak influence, this wine gains texture and complexity while maintaining freshness. Ideal pairings include roast chicken, pork tenderloin, creamy seafood, and soft cheeses.
