Tasting notes

This expressive rosé is a gleaming pale pink color. It offers smoothness and mouth-watering freshness. On the nose, there are notes of raspberries and summer fruits. Refreshing citrus notes and a lingering finish round off the tasting. Perfect accompaniment to starters, salads and grilled fish or meats. 80% Grenache & 20% Syrah

Vinification

The quality of the Les Dauphin wines lies in the careful attention given to each stage of the winemaking process. The grapes are grown in carefully selected plots and picked at dawn in order to preserve pale color, crunchy aromas and freshness. They immediately undergo a gentle pressing. Some of the fine lees are kept to bring roundness and finesse.

Description

The new generation of winegrowers in the South of France are involved in a sustainable production and shows a total commitment to protection of the local territory and biodiversity.

The Les Dauphins brand is inspired by the early 1920s, a time when Paris was enjoying a glorious period of post-war decadence known as Les Années Folles (The Crazy Years!). Art, literature, cinema and music were thriving in France’s capital and these creative minds also fell in love with France’s iconic wines.

Les Dauphins is crafted by a small network of family winemakers from the Dauphiné region of the Rhône Valley who joined forces to make delicious wines that fueled the creative revolution in bistros across Paris. The Dauphiné supplied countless Parisian restaurants, and became extremely popular thanks to the exuberance and versatility of their wines, which paired beautifully with classic French bistro dishes.

Today, Les Dauphins continues to uphold this legacy of excitement and creativity with their fabulous portfolio of excellent red, white and rosé wines from vineyards in the Southern Rhône. Headed up by talented winemaker Guillaume Valli, Les Dauphins favors those traditional grape varieties that have inspired palates for generations; Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The result? Beautifully balanced, energetic and fruit-driven wines that are the ultimate accompaniment to quiet evenings in and special occasions alike.

Terroir

The vineyard is located in the South-East of France, around the village of Tulette. A sunny Mediterranean climate cooled by Mistral winds, very beneficial for the vine. There are two different soil types: clay limestone soil formed of sedimentary rock and pebbles and stony soil with a sandy sub-soil.
