In 1989, Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac and Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti joined by their Parisian friend, Michel Macaux, purchased a 45 ha property south of Aix-en-Provence on a south-facing hillside. Their vision was to set the benchmark of quality in a region that had not yet reached its full potential. 
 
The estate was renamed Triennes as a reference to Triennia, the festival for Bacchus that was historically held every three years during Roman times. The prefix “Tri” is also a reminder of the three original partners. Ultimately, Triennes is about ground breaking quality from a region offering value wine.
 
Tasting Notes:
A blend of Cinsault with Grenache, Syrah and Merlot. The grapes, harvested at night, are cool upon arrival in the winery. They are pressed after a few hours of skin contact, and fermented at low temperature until dry in stainless steel tanks. Bottled lightly fined and filtered. Aromatically the wine has white flowers and fresh strawberries that dance out of the glass. On the palate the wine is bright with notes of red berry fruits, lemon zest, refreshingly acidity and a touch of minerality.
