Jean-Baptiste Souillard Marsanne 2023 arrives with assured regional clarity. Made by Jean-Baptiste Souillard in the northern Rhône this Marsanne shows attentive vineyard selection and gentle winemaking to reveal stone fruit intensity, floral lift and a clear sense of place while offering both immediate appeal and modest cellar upside.

Pear, ripe apricot and beeswax open with citrus oil and a faint herbal lift. The palate is rounded yet taut with bright acidity, saline detail and a textured midpalate that leads to a long, savoury finish; Jean Baptiste Souillard Marsanne, 2023 balances generosity and precision in a way that rewards both glass and food.

Match with roasted chicken, saffron risotto or soft washed rind cheese at an intimate dinner. Serve lightly chilled and decant briefly to broaden aromatics. Purchase a bottle for special meals or buy by the case to ensure steady, food friendly drinking.
