IGP des Alpilles Domaine de Trévallon rouge 2021

The IGP Alpilles Domaine de Trévallon Rouge 2021 from Domaine de Trévallon is a flagship cuvée from the Languedoc-Provence region, perfectly expressing the estate’s unique and demanding style. Produced under the IGP Alpilles, this wine highlights the pure expression of its terroir and the Domaine de Trévallon’s minimalist, free-spirited philosophy.

The vineyard, located on limestone slopes in the Alpilles and surrounded by garrigue and pine forests, benefits from a microclimate that produces grapes both ripe and fresh, offering complexity and balance. The 2021 vintage, characterized by a relatively mild and steady growing season, yielded healthy, concentrated grapes with natural acidity preserved, providing tension and vibrancy to the wine.

This cuvée is based on an original blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, a rare combination in the region, giving the wine structure, depth, and aromatic finesse. Grapes are hand-harvested, and viticulture is conducted with respect for the environment, low yields, and minimal intervention.

In the cellar, winemaking is traditional: natural fermentations, gentle extraction, and extended aging in large oak vats and barrels. This method allows the wine to develop full complexity while preserving the authenticity and purity of the fruit.

On the nose, the Trévallon Rouge 2021 offers an elegant bouquet of black fruits—blackcurrant, blackberry—complemented by notes of garrigue, spices, and subtle smoky hints. On the palate, it is broad, structured, and harmonious, with fine tannins and remarkable freshness that perfectly balance the richness of the vintage. The finish is long, precise, and elegant, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and harmony.

Already enjoyable after gentle aeration, this wine also has excellent aging potential, evolving gracefully over 10 to 20 years. The IGP Alpilles Rouge 2021 from Domaine de Trévallon exemplifies the perfect combination of power, elegance, and authentic terroir expression.
