Marsanne is a white grape variety that originated in Montélimar in the Drôme, several centuries ago. Marsanne is also found in Cassis, Savoie, Languedoc-Roussillon and Saint-Péray in the Ardèche, where it produces remarkable sparkling wines. The warm, sunny climate of the Rhone Valley, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, as well as the dry, stony soil, are ideal conditions for its development. Its bunches are quite large and provide small, juicy berries that are sensitive to grey rot and strong winds. These two grape varieties complement each other perfectly: together they give light wines with little acidity, aromas of yellow fruit, white fruit and flowers with notes of honey and liquorice. This is for example what the appellations Saint-Péray, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Côtes-du-Vallée du Rhône, Corbières, or Cassis express... which represent about 700 hectares.

Picardan is a white grape variety from Provence. Currently, this variety no longer exists. It is otherwise known as gallet blanc, grosse clairette, aragnan, papadoux or milhaud blanc. It is also called œillade blanche, but it has nothing to do with the œillade noire grape variety.Picardan has cottony buds and fairly large leaves. Its truncated cone-shaped bunches of grapes are tightly packed. The berries are smaller than those of Cinsault and are rather pinkish in colour when they reach maturity. Like Cinsault, Picardy is a late bloomer with a sweet, musky aroma. Vigorous, it is not too afraid of grey rot, but it is more sensitive to erinosis. Picardan is one of the grape varieties used in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. It gives a wine with a particular bouquet and when it is associated with other grape varieties such as mourvèdre or syrah. The rosé wine it produces is of good quality.
