Triennes 2023: our favourite rosé

Triennes comes from the Provence estate set up by Aubert de Vilaine of Domaine de la Romanee Conti and Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac. Crisp, fresh and beautifully pale pink in colour, it is one of Provence’s most sought after rosés for good reason. It is just as delicious as you would expect it to be, and it costs only £14 per bottle. 

The wine comes from a small, organically certified domaine just south-east of Aix-en-Provence. The two famous Burgundians founded the estate in 1989 with a mutual friend, and it is now run by Jacques’ son, Jeremy Seysses. The focus has always been on freshness and delicacy of flavour. The grapes are picked at night, to preserve aromatics. Minimal skin contact gives the subtle pale pink hue that is a hallmark of the region. Cool fermentation and early bottling ensure optimal finesse and expression. Cinsault predominates in the blend, with a little Grenache, Syrah and Merlot as well.

If you buy one Provence rosé this year, make it this one. It is an absolute bargain for the price. Buy some now to enjoy over summer.
