Why it matters
The producer
Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac and Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti founded Domaine de Triennes in 1990. The domaine is based in Nans-les-Pins and carries the IGP Méditerranée designation. It is organic certified through Ecocert and emphasizes simple, unpretentious winemaking.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
The vineyards are positioned between the Alps and the Mediterranean. Cool nights and slow ripening produce wines from slowly ripened fruit in this Mediterranean setting.
