IGP des Alpilles Domaine de Trévallon rouge 2019

The IGP Alpilles Domaine de Trévallon Rouge 2019 from Domaine de Trévallon is a distinctive and highly regarded wine from southern France, embodying the unique identity and uncompromising philosophy of the estate. Produced under the IGP Alpilles, this wine stands apart from traditional appellations, reflecting both the character of its terroir and the singular vision of Eloi Dürrbach.

The vineyard is located on limestone slopes in the Alpilles, surrounded by garrigue and pine forests. This rugged, natural environment plays a crucial role in shaping the wine’s balance, freshness, and aromatic complexity. The 2019 vintage, marked by warm and dry conditions, produced grapes of excellent ripeness and concentration, while maintaining the freshness that defines Trévallon’s style.

This cuvée is based on an unconventional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, a rare combination in the region that brings together structure, depth, and aromatic finesse. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand, and viticulture is carried out with respect for the environment and low intervention.

In the cellar, winemaking follows a traditional, minimal-intervention approach: natural fermentations, gentle extraction, and long aging in large oak vats and barrels. This method allows the wine to fully express its terroir and develop complexity over time.

On the nose, the Trévallon Rouge 2019 reveals intense aromas of black fruits—blackberry, blackcurrant—layered with notes of garrigue, spices, and subtle smoky nuances. On the palate, it is structured yet balanced, with fine tannins and remarkable freshness supporting its depth and concentration. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, marked by spicy and mineral undertones.

Already expressive after decanting, this wine also offers excellent aging potential, evolving beautifully over 10 to 20 years. The IGP Alpilles Rouge 2019 from Domaine de Trévallon stands as a benchmark of character and authenticity, combining power, elegance, and a true sense of place.
