“A serious wine with length and structure — far better than the average supermarket rosé.” - The Spectator

“This is worth hunting down.” - The Wine Advocate, 91 points

As many of you who have bought this wine before will know, this rosé is the result of a collaboration between two superstar Burgundy winemakers, Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac. Given the renown of these two bona fide wine legends, it almost beggars belief that the wine sells for as little as £14.95. It’s everything we love about Provençal rosé. It’s dry and delicate, but it has texture and is discreetly concentrated, so the flavours spread evenly across the palate and don’t finish abruptly or want for depth. We found hints of dusty rose, grenadine, white cherry and peach, perked up by a little tickle of blood orange. 12.5% alc. Harvested at night so that the grapes are cool upon arrival in the winery. Pressed after a few hours of skin contact. Fermented at low temperature until fully dry. Drink now-2025. Organic.

Burgundian legends Aubert de Villaine and Jacques Seysses established this domaine in 1989, because they say they wanted to explore the potential of the South of France. It assuredly had nothing to do with wanting to feel the warmth of the sun on their back and to sleep better at night without fretting about frost and hail and coach-loads of tourists stealing their grapes (if you have been to Burgundy, you will have witnessed how easy it is to trespass on famous vineyards like La Tâche and pick a few grapes… apparently). Their attention turned to a vineyard in the Var region, east of Aix-en-Provence, west of Cannes, attracted by its gently sloping hillside with its perfect southern exposure, its cool microclimate and its clay and limestone soils ideal for viticulture. They named the estate ‘Triennes’, a reference to Triennia, the festival in honour of Bacchus, which took place every three years in Roman times.

Press review:

The Wine Advocate: "Jacques Seysses, from Domaine Dujac, and Aubert de Villaine, from iconic Domaine de la Romanée Conti, have teamed up with Michel Macaux, a Parisian, to acquire a 46-hectare Mediterranean estate. The 2022 IGP Mediterranée Rosé, mostly Cinsault alongside Grenache, Syrah and Merlot, exhales a fresh, delicate bouquet with aromas of red berries, lemon, pomegranate, wild strawberry and spices. Juicy, fresh and perfectly balanced, with a delicate, sappy texture, it’s long with mineral acids, iodine notes and a penetrating, mouthwatering finish. This is worth hunting down. Drink now-2025." 91 points
