Roussanne is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Rhône Valley of France, as well as in California and Australia. It produces full-bodied wines with flavors of pear, honey, and herbs, often with a rich, oily texture. The ABV for Roussanne wines typically ranges from 12.5-14.5%. Its popularity is due to its ability to produce complex, age-worthy wines that reflect their terroir.
The varied soils and climates of the Rhône Valley and other regions provide ideal conditions for Roussanne, allowing the grape to develop its characteristic richness and aromatics. Roussanne is often used in blends with Marsanne to add body and complexity, as well as in varietal wines that showcase its unique profile. The grape's potential for producing high-quality, long-lived wines has ensured its status as a staple of Rhône Valley viticulture and a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
