Vintage Character Domaine de Triennes IGP Méditerranée 'Les Auréliens' Blanc 2024 is a dry white from Provence’s IGP Méditerranée, blending Chardonnay with Rolle to capture both brightness and Mediterranean ease. The 2024 vintage shows the estate’s hallmark freshness, with warm southern conditions balanced by the cooler influence of its inland, elevated site, helping the wine retain lift and definition rather than simple ripeness. Set in the Var, near the foothills of the Sainte-Baume massif, Triennes benefits from a comparatively cool Provençal mesoclimate and limestone-rich soils that give this cuvée its crisp citrus line and lightly mineral finish.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The nose opens on white peach, green apple, lemon zest and white flowers, followed by subtle herbal notes and a faint stony nuance. On the palate it is medium-bodied, dry and energetic, with supple texture from lees contact, juicy orchard fruit at the core, and a clean, gently almond-tinged finish that keeps the wine precise and highly versatile at table. Pair it with grilled sea bass, roast chicken with herbs, or goat’s cheese tart for a bright, food-friendly match.
Winery Background Domaine de Triennes was founded in 1989 by Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac, drawn to this corner of Provence for its unusually fresh growing conditions. The estate has long pursued careful, low-intervention viticulture and meticulous fruit selection, with hand-harvesting used where needed and vinification aimed at preserving clarity rather than imposing weight. That Burgundian sensibility, applied to southern fruit and limestone terroir, is what makes Triennes such a compelling benchmark for refined Provençal white wine.
