Marsanne

Product Code: CFB53

Domaine de Petit Roubié has been certified organic since 1985 and is situated near the Thau lagoon in the Languedoc. The estate is known for protecting local flora and fauna and producing wines that reflect the maritime influence of the region (see their Picpoul de Pinet). Though it often flies under the radar, Marsanne is a key component in some of the Rhône’s most age-worthy whites. On the nose, this beautifully expressive white has ripe pear, hints of candied melon and a subtle herbal edge. The palate is rounded but fresh, with notes of stone fruits, almond and a gentle stony minerality that lingers long after each sip.

Olivier and Floriane Azan, originally from a family of apple growers near Montpellier, made the move into growing vines back in 1981 with the purchase of the Château Petit Roubié estate, which then comprised just 15 hectares. Situated in the village of Pinet, overlooking the Etang de Thau, the domaine offers a range of organically produced wines but with focus on the distinctive and increasingly sought after Picpoul de Pinet (a southern French version of Muscadet - according to many commentators). Soils are mainly a classic clay/chalk mix. By 1995 Olivier had converted the entire estate production to organic viticulture and Petit Roubié was the first producer of organic Picpoul de Pinet. He now farms a total of 60 hectares of vines including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Tannat, Carignan and Sauvignon Blanc. It is the Picpoul, though, that dominates. The variety is ideally suited to the maritime terroir, reflecting its origins perfectly. Its style provides the ideal foil to the copious quantities of oysters and mussels that are farmed out of the Etang de Thau just a stone's throw away. The variety thrives here managing to retain its vibrant acidity even under torrid summer Mediterranean sunshine. Olivier's winemaking is meticulous but essentially uncomplicated, preferring not to resort to excessive oak influence. He aims to deliver authentic wines with honest, clean, pure flavours.
