This is what good wine from the Marselán grape tastes like

The lesser-known French Marselán grape produces elegant red wines. A touch of cassis and blackcurrant on the nose, sometimes a touch earthy. Not too much tannin on the palate, but with fine acidity that makes it lively.

Marselán is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache. It was bred in 1961 in Marseille, from which it takes its name. It is primarily found in the Languedoc and occasionally in the Rhône. Since 1990, it has been permitted in the Vins de Pays there.

These are accessible red wines that pair well with moderately heavy meat dishes such as fricandeau, pork tenderloin, or grilled chicken.

Marselán is also planted on a small scale in Lebanon, California, and South America. You won't easily find a 100% Marselán wine. It is usually blended with other red grapes.

We currently have one wine made from the Marselán grape in our range. You can view our Marselán wine here.
