In 1989, two rockstar Burgundy winemakers, Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac, and Aubert de Villaine of the most prestigious Burgundy estate, Domaine de la Romanée Conti, teamed up with a friend, Michel Marcaux, to buy an existing 115-acre winery high up in the hills of the Var region of Provence, east of Aix-en-Provence. They renamed it Domaine de Triennes from Trienna, an ancient festival held every three years to honor Bacchus, the Roman god of wine.

They saw great potential in the vineyard given the cool microclimate, clay and limestone soil and south-facing slopes with 250 to 450-meter elevation. Based upon their extensive knowledge of what it takes to produce great wines in Burgundy, the new owners invested heavily in the renewal of the vineyard with extensive replanting.

Jeremy Seysses, Jacques' son, manages the estate as naturally as possible. Every other row is planted with a cover crop to limit erosion and generate organic material.

These fine winemakers have lent their craft and expertise to offer high quality, biodynamic and organic wines at reasonable prices. Unsurprisingly, the wines are featured on many top restaurant wine lists.
