IGP des Alpilles Domaine de Trévallon rouge 2022

The IGP Alpilles Domaine de Trévallon Rouge 2022 from Domaine de Trévallon is a flagship cuvée of the Languedoc-Provence region, elegantly showcasing the estate’s unique and demanding style. Produced under the IGP Alpilles, this wine reflects the pure expression of its terroir and the Domaine de Trévallon’s minimalist, environmentally respectful approach.

The vineyard, planted on limestone slopes with rocky scree and surrounded by garrigue and pine forests, benefits from an ideal microclimate that produces concentrated, perfectly balanced grapes. The 2022 vintage, characterized by a warm and steady summer, yielded healthy, ripe, and aromatic grapes, with natural freshness that gives the wine tension and vibrancy.

This cuvée is based on an original blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, a rare combination in the region, offering structure, depth, and aromatic finesse. Grapes are hand-harvested with meticulous selection, and viticulture is conducted with environmental respect, controlled yields, and minimal intervention.

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

On the nose, the Trévallon Rouge 2022 reveals intense aromas of black fruits—blackcurrant, blackberry—enhanced by garrigue, spice, and subtle smoky nuances. On the palate, it is broad, structured, and harmonious, with fine tannins and remarkable freshness balancing the richness of the vintage. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent, highlighting the typicity of the terroir.

Already appealing after gentle aeration, this wine also has excellent aging potential, evolving gracefully over 10 to 20 years. The IGP Alpilles Rouge 2022 from Domaine de Trévallon perfectly exemplifies the combination of power, elegance, and authentic terroir expression.
