2014 Cour des Dames Marsanne, Languedoc-Roussillon, France, Pays d'Oc

Catherine and Laurent Delaunay are responsible for the making of the wines of La Cour des Dames. Both received training as oenologist, and they also come from a family that for generations has been winegrowers. They gained experience in California and Burgundy. In 1995, they established themselves as independent winemakers near Nuits -Saint -Georges in Burgundy. Pretty soon they were also passionate about the wines from the south of France. Through their experience with varietal wines (wines made with only one grape race) they had the know-how to create very nice wine for an attractive price.

For an interesting complexity and perfect balance, the Delaunay selected grapes from four different areas. The Hautes Cévennes for freshness, the plain of the Hérault for the roundness, the hills of the Aude for the fruits and the foothills of the Pyrenees (Limoux) for the structure.

This wine is made from 100% Marsanne. The Marsanne grape is a white grape variety and we find it mostly in the Rhone region and Languedoc-Roussillon. The grape is quite sensitive to the climate. Is it too cold then she doesn't ripe, if it's too hot then she becomes overripe and loses her freshness. Apparently both the Rhone and the Languedoc region are in line with its requirements.
