Buy OnlineWith its colourful retro style, Les Dauphins captures the “joie de vivre” mood of Paris in the roaring 1920s, a time when the wines of the Dauphiné region of France became very popular due to their fruit-forward, palate-pleasing style.
Now “Joie de vivre” also comes with winegrowing as Les Dauphins Côtes du Rhône vineyards are now fully High Environmental Value certified and the new generation of young winegrowers is shaping Les Dauphins spirit: young, vibrant, committed, and positive.
92/100 Ken Gargett, WinePilot.com, August 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"A terrific value wine that is made purely for enjoyment. This organic red is from the Côtes du Rhône region of France. The makers have the option of including a wide range of grapes, but as usual, the dominant variety is Grenache. That is well supported by a range of what they describe as “friends”. Purple/magenta with a crimson rim, this is all about instant gratification. A wine full of flavour and drinking beautifully at this early stage. On the nose we have aromas of chocolate, mushrooms, dried herbs, freshly unearthed beetroot, smoked meats and black cherries. Succulent, supple and seamless on the palate through to slick tannins, there is good length, ripeness and energy here, and the wine lingers beautifully. Drink over the next six to eight years. This is really good value."
90/100 & Best Buy, Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast, December 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Fresh pear, white peach, lily of the valley, tea, and tossed earth meld together on the nose. The palate is precise, with pronounced florals, light ripe peach, honeycomb, and citrus peel. It feels round, finishing with slight astringency that comes across as pithy. This wine is best enjoyed now."
