Organic/Bio Lower ABV What do the owners of two of Burgundy's most famous (and expensive!) estates reach for when they want something light, pink and refreshing? That was the question Jacques Seysses, founder of Domaine Dujac, and Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti answered by creating Triennes in Provence, just east of Aix-en-Provence. Now they drink this, a deliciously pale pink wine made mainly from Cinsault with splashes of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre, all grown specifically for rosé.
We love Cinsault-based rosé because it takes advantage of this old Provencal grape's punchy acidity and lovely strawberry and fruit blossom aromas and flavors. Here you'll taste that profile plus juicy watermelon, a bit of tangy peach and a tart pie cherry note that makes the whole thing so very, very, refreshing. There's more texture and palate-presence here than in many pale pink rosés even though it finishes just around 13.0% alcohol. Definitely a delicious solo sipper but don't forget to take a bottle or two to table to enjoy with everything from fried chicken or seafood, Asian noodles and even slightly pungent cheeses like Humbolt Fog.
For You If: You love a good dry French rosé and want one with enough freshness to slake your thirst in summer and body/texture to shine at table and satisfy as the weather cools.
Not For You If: You’re looking for something off-dry/a little sweet or with the darker, more powerful, feel of wines like Tavel or Bandol rosé.
