Tasting :
The aromas of acacia and honeysuckle, supported by hints of almonds and hazelnuts are brought by the Marsanne, which also brings structure and straightness to the wine. The delicate notes of hawthorn, green tea and flower honey come from the Roussanne, which brings amplitude and depth to the mouth.
