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.

The quality of our 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 colour, crunchy aromas and freshness. Aged for four months to increase drinking pleasure and offer smooth mellowness.

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.

With its gleaming pale color, this aromatic white reveals generous notes of yellow fruit (peach) lifted by hints of white flowers. An elegant wine that is beautifully fresh and silky with an agreeable touch of suavity.
