($16, The Sorting Table): Readers of this website know that I am not a fan of rosé (except for Rosé Champagne, of course) because it’s usually a byproduct of a technique-bleeding–to strengthen a red wine. Less commonly, some producers–such as those in Tavel in southern France–actually aim to produce rosé. Domaine de Triennes, a joint venture of two Burgundians, Aubert de Villaine, who manages Domaine Romanée Conti and Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac, is another producer who sets out to make a rosé. And they make an excellent one. A blend of Cinsault, Grenache, and Syrah, it delivers a lovely combination of dried red fruit, spice and alluring floral elements. This fresh and vibrant wine is a wonderful way to welcome spring. 90 Michael Apstein Apr 14, 2009
