IGP des Alpilles Domaine de Trévallon rouge 2020

The IGP Alpilles Domaine de Trévallon Rouge 2020 from Domaine de Trévallon is a flagship cuvée of southern France, perfectly illustrating the unique identity and inimitable style of the estate. Produced under the IGP Alpilles, this wine stands out for its freedom of blending and its commitment to expressing the pure character of the Alpilles terroir.

The vineyard, planted on limestone slopes covered with rocky scree and surrounded by garrigue and pine forests, benefits from a pristine natural environment that enhances both freshness and complexity. The 2020 vintage, marked by a warm and dry growing season, produced grapes of exceptional ripeness, concentration, and balance, while maintaining beautiful tension thanks to the natural conditions of the site.

This cuvée is based on an original blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, a rare combination in the region that provides structure, depth, and aromatic finesse. Grapes are carefully hand-harvested, and viticulture is carried out with environmental respect, following a low-intervention philosophy.

In the cellar, winemaking follows a traditional approach: natural fermentations, gentle extraction, and extended aging in large oak vats and barrels. This method allows the wine to develop its full complexity while preserving balance and the authentic expression of the fruit.

On the nose, the Trévallon Rouge 2020 reveals intense aromas of ripe black fruits—blackberry, blackcurrant—layered with garrigue, spices, and subtle smoky notes. On the palate, it is broad, structured, and silky, supported by fine tannins and remarkable freshness that balances the richness of the vintage. The finish is long, deep, and elegant, with persistent spicy and mineral undertones.

Already captivating after gentle aeration, this wine also has excellent aging potential, capable of evolving gracefully over 10 to 20 years. The IGP Alpilles Rouge 2020 from Domaine de Trévallon confirms the estate’s status as a benchmark producer, combining power, finesse, and authentic expression of its terroir.
