Domaine de Triennes Rose 2024 750ml

Product Info

Terroir
Domaine de Triennes is situated at the western edge of Provence, where the Mediterranean climate is moderated by elevation and constant maritime airflow. The vineyards sit on a mosaic of limestone-rich clay and sandy soils that drain efficiently while retaining enough moisture to sustain balanced vine growth through the dry Provençal summers. This soil composition contributes a distinct mineral tension and subtle savory undertone to the wines, reinforcing freshness and precision rather than overt ripeness.

The 2024 growing season unfolded under notably favorable conditions. Cool mornings, sun-filled days, and consistent sea breezes allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly, preserving acidity while developing aromatic clarity. These conditions are particularly advantageous for rosé production, where timing and balance are essential to achieving both vibrancy and texture.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
The Rosé 2024 is crafted with a restrained, purity-driven approach that emphasizes freshness and aromatic definition. A blend led by Grenache and Cinsault, supported by Provençal varieties such as Tibouren and Syrah, the grapes are harvested early in the morning to protect natural acidity and delicate aromatics.

Following harvest, the fruit undergoes a brief and gentle skin contact to achieve its pale, luminous salmon hue without extracting bitterness or phenolic weight. Fermentation takes place at cool temperatures in stainless steel, preserving the wine’s crisp fruit profile and floral lift. Lees contact is kept minimal, and no oak influence is employed, allowing the wine’s texture to remain clean, linear, and precise. The result is a rosé that favors clarity over embellishment, with a distinctly Provençal sense of restraint.

Tasting Notes
The wine opens with refined, expressive aromatics that immediately signal freshness and balance. Notes of wild strawberry, red currant, and white peach are layered with citrus zest and subtle floral nuances of rose petal and orange blossom. Beneath the fruit lies a delicate savory note—suggestive of crushed herbs and sea air—that adds depth and regional character.

On the palate, the 2024 Rosé is poised and energetic. Bright acidity carries flavors of tart raspberry, citrus peel, and pale stone fruit across a finely textured mid-palate. A gentle chalky minerality provides structure and definition, preventing the wine from feeling purely fruit-driven. The finish is clean and persistent, marked by lingering citrus, soft red fruit, and a faint saline edge that invites another sip.

Food Pairing & Service
This rosé’s balance of freshness, minerality, and subtle savory complexity makes it exceptionally versatile at the table. It pairs naturally with seafood such as grilled shrimp, seared scallops, or tuna crudo, and complements Mediterranean dishes including Niçoise salad, herb-roasted vegetables, and tomato-based preparations. It also performs beautifully alongside soft cheeses, light charcuterie, and simple aperitif fare.

Serve well chilled, ideally between 48–52°F (9–11°C), in a white wine or tulip-shaped glass to highlight its aromatics and linear structure. The wine is best enjoyed young, while its freshness and vibrancy are at their peak.
