Authentique, Marselan Rosé, IGP Pays d'Oc

Located in the heart of the world's largest wine-producing region, the vineyards of the Vicomté winegrowers cover more than 7,500 hectares. They grow on hilly terrain fed by sediments of the Hérault River, but also on more calcareous soils such as the Villefranchian terraces and semi-slopes. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate, dry and arid in summer and mild in winter, we harvest the finest grape varieties under HVE3 charter.

Presentation

Marselan was developed in the 1960s by the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) in the Languedoc. The Marselan grape variety is a crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache.

Location

In the heart of the Languedoc.

Terroir

Marselan can perform well in soils with a limestone component. Limestone soils often have good drainage characteristics and contribute to the overall structure and complexity of the wine. Clay-limestone soils can offer a balanced water-holding capacity, providing vines with access to moisture during dry periods.

In the vineyard

Marselan grapes are medium-sized, falling between small grape varieties like Pinot Noir and larger varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon.
