Discover the best wines made with Marselan as a single variety or as a blend of Haute Vallee de l'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.
IGP in the Pyrenean foothills (Aude, oceanic-Mediterranean climate, altitude, limestone soils): Chardonnay signature white — elegant and aromatic with notes of fresh fruit, spices and expressive minerality marked by limestone, fresh balance highlighting fruity character and length. Chenin, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon and Viognier complement. Altitude and oceanic influence temper Mediterranean climate, slow ripening, aromatic concentration.
