Trévallon 2011 75cl

A cult-wine producer situated amongst the rolling hills of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Domaine de Trévallon is located in the small village of Saint-Etienne-du-Grès. Originally created by Eloi Dürrbach back in 1973, when he planted his first vineyard on the north-facing side of the Alpilles to Syrah and Cabernet varieties. Today, the omnipresent limestone terroir has grown into over 17-hectares of vines that surround the old farmhouse, planted to Marsanne, Roussanne and Chardonnay. This benchmark Provençal estate is now titled with IGP status, producing classic reds that are very impressive, and refined examples of the appellation. Barrel-aged in large older wood, the reds here benefit from about five years’ cellaring. The white is a blend of Marsanne, Roussanne, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Chardonnay, it is a barrique-fermented and intense wine with subtle floral and nutty-fruit essences
