Bold structure and spicy richness? We say Oui!
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Pont du Nord Contre Sud
Marselan
The Marselan varietal is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache creating a distinct balance between the refined power and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the spicy richness of Grenache. Plush, rich, pronounced dark aromas of plum, blackberry bramble with the unique tones of black licorice and pepper. This low-yield, 20th Century grape is stepping into the spotlight as a single varietal wine.

WINE REGION:
Pays d'Oc IGP
If you've vacationed in the south of France, you've probably visited the Pays d'Oc region. Embracing the Mediterranean from Spain to Provence, this region is famed as much for its Grenache, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as its endless sunshine. Pays d'Oc covers non-AOC wines made across this large, sun-kissed region, known as France's "New World." Far from the regulations of the AOC system, pioneering winemakers headed here to experiment, crafting many now-famous wines that often state their grape variety on the label—not something that was common in France before then. IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) within France’s wine classification system focuses on controlling regional and geographical origin. The category is less restrictive than the AOC classification and gives winemakers more freedom with style and taste profile when creating wines.
