Tasting Notes

This wine shows a lovely pink color, with delicate aromas of summer fruits. Full flavored and refreshing with a lingering finish. It is delicious as an aperitif. Perfect accompaniment to starters, salads and grilled fish or meats. 80% Grenache, 10% Cinsault & 10% Syrah.

Vineyard

The vineyards are located in the Southern Rhone Valley and grown on chalky-clay alluvial plains and stony hillside. The grapes are harvested at optimum maturity to express the best fruit flavors of Grenache. The vineyard is managed in an environmentally respectful way.

Description

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.
