Key variety in the great whites of the northern Rhône (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray) blended with marsanne, and one of the 13 permitted grapes at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Native Rhône variety.

Elite Savoie cru (Chignin, Francin, Montmélian, south-southwest slopes of Montgelas). Roussanne — locally called "Bergeron" — is the signature white: opulent and complex with white flowers, peach, apricot, honey, pear and a mineral-smoky character, golden colour, subtle petrol notes with age — the richest Savoie wine, the antithesis of light Jacquère. Late harvest possible. Alpine aromatic jewel.
