The success of the Rosé de Triennes, produced by the estate’s negociant company, has grown more by word of mouth by wine lovers than through glossy marketing campaigns on the beaches of the Côte d’Azur.

Drink now through a sun filled summer.

The soils are rich clay at the bases and limestone on the summits of the hills...
