Compared to Roussanne, Marsanne is less aromatic and more rustic, though more stable. If it has matured properly, it presents a good alcohol level that allows the wine to age for a long time, during which it develops more complex and fruity aromas. It reveals aromas of violet, hawthorn, acacia, mineral touches, a hint of minerality, exotic fruit aromas, and on the palate, it is rich and very pleasant. As it ages, it matures and evolves, offering intense aromas of honeysuckle and jasmine, acacia honey, walnuts, and quince. Additionally, it becomes more oily and heavy. It is not usually used as a single varietal but rather blended with other varieties, such as Viognier and Roussanne.
