OUSTANDING WINE FROM PROVENCE
Domaine de Trévallon is situated in the region of Les Baux near Saint-Rémy de Provence. It shot into prominence through the genius of Eloi Dürbach, the godson of Picasso, a friend and contemporary of Eloi's father. In 1974 Eloi gave up architecture to plant vines on his family's estate.
The cépage mix is now roughly 50-50, Cabernet-Sauvignon (from Château de Vignelaure) and Syrah (from Château Rayas). Yields are low, indigenous yeasts are used and the wine is matured for 18 months in small oak casks. It is unfined and unfiltered.
It is not often that I quote my friend Robert Parker, Jr but in his book on Rhone and Provence he wrote 'One of the greatests discoveries in my life has been the wine made at the Domaine de Trévallon'. A robust but complex, deeply coloured wine with a cult following. An exceptional vertical of eleven vintages. The wine is all in its original packaging and has been stored, since original shipment, in the cellars of Yapp Bros. M.B.
