The 2022 Domaine du Chêne Marsanne Laura Collines Rhodaniennes is an expressive and approachable wine that offers excellent value for a Northern Rhône-style Marsanne. It is praised for its fresh, clean, and accessible style, making it a reliable and versatile white wine. The wine is a product of the Rouviére family, a small producer in the Northern Rhône. It is made from 100% Marsanne grapes. Unlike some richer Marsanne wines, it is fermented entirely in stainless steel to emphasize its freshness, fruit, and mineral character. This differs from some other Marsannes that might see some oak aging for more body. The wine strikes a fine balance between the naturally weighty texture of Marsanne and a lively acidity. It has a nice texture without feeling heavy. It offers gentle yet persistent flavors that linger on the palate, contributing to a clean and satisfying finish. Its fresh profile makes it a highly food-friendly wine, pairing well with a range of dishes, from rich seafood and poultry to spicy cuisine and soft cheeses.
