Domaine de Trevallon IGP Alpilles Rouge

Domaine de Trévallon is a cult wine estate with a near mythical status. It was Éloi Dürrbach who took on the monumental task of transforming his parents' property into one of France’s most fabled wine estates. Located in the Alpilles near the medieval fortress town of Les Baux-de-Provence, the 17ha property has been organically farmed since the beginning. Low intervention winemaking reigns supreme at Trévallon, where whole cluster, wild yeast ferments and used oak élevage create wines of an indelibly alluring character. Despite the heat of the vintage, cool nights have preserved impressive freshness, giving the wine great liveliness and fine, well‑woven tannins. The nose opens with crushed strawberries, black olives, eucalyptus, scrubland and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate it is surprisingly smooth and supple for its youth, but it will benefit from further cellaring to show its full Trevallon potential. Drink 2028–2040.
