Producer Information: Les Dauphins
Les Dauphins traces its roots to the sun-drenched vineyards of the southern Rhône Valley in France, where a collective of local winemakers came together in 1921 to celebrate the region’s vibrant terroir and communal spirit. Drawing inspiration from the Belle Époque era, their philosophy centers on crafting approachable yet expressive wines that capture the essence of classic Côtes du Rhône blends, with a focus on sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention. Les Dauphins is particularly noted for its lively red and white wines that highlight Grenache, Syrah, and Viognier grapes sourced from limestone-rich soils around villages like Cairanne and Vinsobres. Beyond their flagship Côtes du Rhône offerings, they also produce organic cuvées and limited-edition village-specific bottlings that showcase nuanced expressions of local microclimates within this historic French wine region.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
