Domaine de Triennes Rose

The nocturnal harvest allows this pretty pale color to be obtained, while preserving an aromatic nose of red fruits and marshmallow. Without roughness, its mouth is round and harmonious.

This wine is the result of Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac, Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and their good friend Michel Macaux prospecting for vineyards in Provence.

Both Jacques and Aubert immediately recognised the gently sloping hillside with clay and limestone soil and an ideal southern exposure, as perfect for viticulture.

Originally called Domaine du Logis de Nans they changed the name to Triennes as reference to Triennia, the Romain festival held in honour of Bacchus.   

Cinsault, blended with Grenache, Syrah and Merlot; alcohol: 12.8%; vineyards in Var facing Massif de la Sainte Baume; clay and limestone soil; grapes harvested at night to ensure cool temperature at winery arrival; pressed after few hours of skin contact; fermented in stainless steel tanks until dry; suitable for vegetarians.
