Marselan is a grape variety created by crossing Cabernet Sauvignon with Grenache.
Owing to its outstanding attributes, such as small berries, exceptional quality, high yield, and robust disease resistance, Marselan has steadily emerged as a prominent grape variety in Chinese wine production.
In 2001, Domaine Franco-Chinois imported Marselan grapevine cuttings from France, adapting them to the unique Huailai terroir. By focusing on crucial aspects such as cluster thinning and optimal harvest timing, the estate has been able to cultivate high-quality grapes. The juice undergoes maturation in French oak barrels for over 16 months, resulting in a full-bodied, harmonious profile with smooth, refined tannins and a lasting finish. Domaine Franco-Chinois Marselan demonstrates exceptional aging potential.
