Roussanne Grape

Roussanne

Roussanne is a white wine grape originally from the Rhône Valley in France. Its name comes from the French word “roux,” meaning reddish-brown, which describes the grape’s russet-colored skin when ripe. Roussanne is known for its bright floral aromas and complex flavor profile, which includes notes of stone fruits like peach and pear, as well as honey, chamomile, and spices.

This grape thrives in warm climates, producing rich, full-bodied wines with a silky texture and good acidity. However, it is notoriously difficult to grow due to its susceptibility to mildew, rot, and uneven ripening. Despite these challenges, Roussanne is highly valued for its ability to add elegance and aromatic complexity to wine blends, particularly when paired with Marsanne
