On the nose, it is powerful and beautifully elegant, marked by very ripe red and black fruits, against a background of white pepper and liquorice spice, very characteristic of Trévallon. The palate is smooth and ends on a long, lovely finish showing very ripe and refined tannins of very high quality.

Producer Information

Domaine de Trévallon is one of the leading wineries in the south of France, located in Provence on the edge of the Alpilles mountain range between Avignon and Arles. The first vines were planted in 1973 by the winery’s founder Eloi Dürrbach, on his father’s property. Dürrbach died in 2021 and the estate, which remains family-owned, is run by son Antoine and his wife. The estate covers 15 hectares (37 acres) of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, with two hectares (five acres) of white varieties, the majority of which are Marsanne and Roussanne. The first wines were made in 1976. In 2013, a new winery was constructed with the architecture reflecting the estate’s later wine labels. These have been used since 1996 and were designed by Eloi’s father René, an eminent painter and sculptor whose pieces can be found around the estate. Winemaking methods are natural and low-interventionist, with no destemming, whole-bunch fermentation, and natural yeasts. The wines are bottled without filtration. From inception the wines were designated Les Baux de Provence AOC. However, in 1993 France’s national appellations body, the INAO, ruled that the wines must be designated Vin de Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône, as they contained too much Cabernet Sauvignon. They are now released as IGP Alpilles, which covers the west of the Bouches-du-Rhône department.
