{"title":"Jean-Claude Marsanne","description":"The village of Mauves in St. Joseph is a hallowed place for a certain kind of wine lover. The kind that loves wine adventures, wine traditions, and a little wine history. The kind that loves Trollat and Gonon — or at least would love to try a bottle from one of those legends, if one were to appear on the table. Yes, we’re talking about you.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBack in the day, when Kermit Lynch discovered the wonders of Mauves (and the other nearby villages that make up the historic core of AOC St. Joseph) and began to import the wines of those legends, he also came across Jean-Claude Marsanne. Marsanne — yes, he shares his name with that of a grape he grows — comes from a family that has been focused on vine production in Mauves since 1920. In 1970, Jean-Claude began to bottle his wines, and a new domaine was formed.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKermit managed to bring a shipment over, many decades ago, but at the time the relationship didn’t last. The domaine was, and remains, tiny, and had no trouble selling all their production out the cellar door and to a few local restaurants.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/jean-claude-marsanne.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
