Domaine de Trevallon IGP Alpilles Rouge 2015

Domaine de Trévallon is a cult wine estate with a near mythical status. Found in the serene hills west of St Remy de Provence, it was originally purchased to be the retirement villa of artists Rene and Jacqueline Dürrbach, close friends of Pablo Picasso. It was their son, Éloi, who would take on the monumental task of transforming the 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. Dedicated principally to Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, the vineyard also has 2ha of Marsanne and Roussanne. Low intervention winemaking reigns supreme at Trévallon, where whole cluster, wild yeast ferments and used oak élevage create wines of an indelibly alluring character.
