ABOUT THIS WINE

Produced by Famille Quiot, a family with a winemaking tradition dating back to 1748, the wine is crafted from 100% Marsanne grapes. The estate acquired Château du Trignon in 2006 with a commitment to preserving its legacy and emphasizing the distinct qualities of individual grape varietals. The Marsanne vines are situated in Sablet and Plan de Dieu, benefiting from the region's hot, stony soils, which are conducive to the grape's growth.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Château du Trignon Marsanne 2020 is produced using 100% Marsanne grapes. A key technique employed is partial oak vinification, with around 20% of the wine aged in oak barrels. This method is used to add a layer of complexity and texture to the wine. The 2020 vintage occurred during a warm year in the Rhône Valley, influencing harvest timing and grape development. The producer's overall approach focuses on single-varietal winemaking to highlight the inherent qualities of the Marsanne grape.
