Roussanne Wine from France

Roussanne, primarily cultivated in the Rhône Valley and Provence, captivates with its rich, aromatic profile of pear, honeysuckle, and herbal notes. The region's warm Mediterranean climate and diverse terroirs contribute to the grape's complexity and elegance, often producing fuller-bodied whites with excellent aging potential. Historically, Roussanne was favored by the aristocracy, with its name derived possibly from the French word for "russet," referring to the grapes' golden hue at harvest, symbolizing the luxury of fine French wines.
