The wines of Domaine de Triennes: buy at the best price

Nestled in Nans-les-Pins, in the Var, at the foot of Mont Aurélien and facing the Sainte-Baume massif, the Domaine de Triennes is one of the finest signatures of Provence. Born in 1990 from the encounter between two great Burgundian winemakers, Aubert de Villaine (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) and Jacques Seysses (Domaine Dujac), in partnership with Michel Macaux, the estate applies exceptional expertise to a high-altitude clay-limestone terroir. Across 46 hectares farmed organically, Viognier, Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cinsault yield fresh, refined and elegant wines under the IGP Méditerranée designation.

History of Domaine de Triennes

The history of Domaine de Triennes begins in the late 1980s, when two major figures of the Burgundian wine world, Jacques Seysses, founder of Domaine Dujac, and Aubert de Villaine, co-manager of the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, set out in search of a terroir in the south of France. Convinced of Provence's potential to produce great wines, they joined forces with their Parisian friend Michel Macaux and discovered, in 1989, a property then known as the Logis de Nans, in Nans-les-Pins, in the Var.

Acquired in 1990, the property was renamed Triennes, in reference to the Triennia, a Bacchanalian festival celebrated every three years under the Roman Empire in honour of Bacchus, god of wine. The prefix tri also evokes the three founding partners. From the very beginning, the owners embarked on an ambitious programme of replanting and mass selection, and experimented with Viognier, which was little known at the time. Today led by the Seysses family, the estate has been certified organic since 2011 and equipped its winery with new installations from 2019 onwards, in a constant pursuit of quality and respect for the environment.

Terroirs and Vines of Domaine de Triennes

The 46 hectares of Domaine de Triennes spread across an altitude of approximately 400 to 420 metres, on a slope with full south exposure backed up against Mont Aurélien, some thirty kilometres from the Mediterranean. This site benefits from an exceptional microclimate: the cool nights, combined with a significant thermal amplitude, encourage a long vegetative cycle for the vine, low yields, and the preservation of a natural acidity that is a hallmark of freshness and complexity.

The clay-limestone terroir, arid and well-draining, forces the roots to plunge deep to seek out water, which concentrates the aromas. The grape varieties marry Burgundian, Bordeaux and Rhône influences: Chardonnay, Viognier and Rolle for the whites, Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for the rosés and reds. Organic farming, grass cover between the rows and a commitment to biodiversity accompany this entirely restructured vineyard, designed to faithfully express the singularity of this high-altitude Provençal terroir.

Vinifications at Domaine de Triennes

In the cellar, the estate's philosophy favours fruit, freshness and finesse. For the whites, the key challenge lies in preserving the aromatic potential offered by the microclimate: vinification and ageing in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, sometimes on fine lees, without altering the purity of the grape. The rosé, crafted with great delicacy, aims for the elegance and saline tension that have built its reputation.

The reds combine structure and elegance, with a ripe fruitiness underpinned by a fine acidity. The fermentations are carried out in tanks, with moderate extraction, followed by a carefully managed twelve-month ageing in barrels, a portion of which come from Domaine Dujac in Burgundy, complemented by large barrels and tanks. The use of multi-vintage barrels helps preserve the juicy and fruity character, rather than imparting a marked oakiness. The wines are lightly fined and then bottled, with certain cuvées remaining unfiltered.

The cuvées of Domaine de Triennes

Les Auréliens Blanc: a blend in equal parts of Chardonnay, Viognier and Rolle, this IGP Méditerranée white wins you over with its freshness, its notes of white fruits and citrus, and its fine balance. A gastronomic yet approachable wine, perfect with fish and Mediterranean cuisine.

Sainte Fleur Viognier: pure Viognier vinified and aged in tank, this is the estate's top-of-the-range white. The intense nose unfolds apricot, honeysuckle and lavender honey; the dense palate is carried by a tension and salinity that are astonishing for the variety. A Viognier of rare freshness.

Triennes Rosé: crafted primarily from Cinsault, complemented by Grenache, Syrah and Merlot, this pale-coloured rosé is regularly cited among the best value-for-money wines of Provence. Fresh, round and harmonious, it blends red fruits, citrus and melon, with an elegant and thirst-quenching finish.

Les Auréliens Rouge: a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, aged twelve months in barrels from Domaine Dujac. The nose reveals raspberry, blackcurrant and morello cherry; the palate combines the structure of Cabernet with the fruitiness of Syrah, with fine tannins and spiced flavours. A crunchy and indulgent red.

Triennes Merlot: pure Merlot, this supple and fruity red gains in expression after aeration. Round and approachable, with ripe dark fruits, it offers a warm and convivial profile, ideal with grilled meats and everyday dishes.

Saint Auguste: the estate's flagship wine and most premium cuvée, a selection of the finest lots of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Vinified in the manner of a great Bordeaux and aged in barriques, large barrels and tanks, it displays a deep purple robe with ruby highlights. The nose of ripe dark fruits, nutmeg and spices opens onto a rich, concentrated and harmonious palate with supple tannins. An elegant wine for ageing, the ideal companion for red meats, game and sauced dishes.
