I've had wines that have had Roussanne as part of the
blend, but I've never had the Marsanne grape; well,
knowingly that is. The first time I tried this wine I
hated it, but maybe the fact that I opened it and then
tried it the next day, letting either my expectations be
open, or that the aeration of the wine overnight softened
it, I have had to look at this wine in an entirely
different light.
The wine in itself is dry, reminding me of a Sancerre,
but it's not bad. To me, I get a little bit of minerality
(shale) more than anything else, with maybe the faintest
trace of citrus in it. All in all, it's more of a pleasant
taste that definitely won't influence the taste of whatever
you are having with it.
