Wine Tips And Knowledge - Pierre Hourlier Wines » Domaine Villepeyroux Forest

Our featured Marselan wine is one of these, produced by Domaine Villepeyroux Forest, a vineyard located in the very heart of the Minervois region in the Languedoc. The estate boasts 40 hectares of vines planted on half slopes of clay-limestone soil, with Marselan being one of a dozen grape varieties grown on the land.

Predominantly grown in the northern Rhone valley, to produce the famous Crozes-Hermitage and Hermitage wine, the Marsanne wine grape is more widely used than you would initially think.
