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.
A very rainy spring made 2018 one of the first years at Trevallon with a marked difference in ripeness between Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Although the blend is an even 50/50, the Cabernet seems to take the lead in this vintage, bringing capsicum and blackcurrant notes that lend lift and a distinctly Bordeaux‑like feel to this Mediterranean wine. Already in its drinking window, it shows cassis, iron, violets and a touch of meatiness, framed by dusty tannins and a nervy, bright energy on the palate. While perhaps not quite as dense or complete as the surrounding vintages, it nonetheless delivers plenty of pleasure and charm in that unmistakable, uniquely Trevallon way, favouring lift over sheer power.
