Wines made from Marselan grapes of Aude
Discover the best wines made with Marselan as a single variety or as a blend of Aude.
Supple, fruity reds with a deep robe and melted tannins, featuring aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, violet, soft spices and garrigue notes. Good consistency and short-to-medium ageing capacity. Made in blends and as a single variety in Languedoc-Roussillon (IGP Pays d'Oc) and exported massively to China where it has become an emblematic quality signature. Also in Brazil and Argentina. A Cabernet Sauvignon × Grenache cross created in 1961 by Paul Truel in Montpellier.
Vast Languedoc IGP covering the entire department: signature Syrah and Grenache as king reds — fruity and sun-drenched with cherry, blackberry, raspberry, garrigue, Mediterranean spices and a peppery touch, supple tannins. Carignan, Mourvèdre, Merlot and Cabernet as backup. Fresh, aromatic whites from Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon and Muscat (citrus, exotic fruits, flowers). Tender rosés.
