Owned and operated by the Dürrbach family since 1973, Domaine de Trévallon is situated in the Medieval town of Les Baux-de-Provence, 30km south of Avignon, and is one of the most revered producers in the region. Vincent and Catherine le Calvez, the winemakers behind Trevallon, have cultivated a reputation for their unorthodox methods.
The 1995 is a half Syrah, half Cabernet Sauvignon. The Domain’s red is famously long-lived and complex. Typically, the wine is fermented with whole bunches and matured for two years in used barrels and foudres before being bottled unfiltered. The high proportion of Cabernet in the blend dictates that the wine cannot be labelled with the name of the local appellation protegée, Les Baux de Provence, and must instead be labelled as Vin de Pay. Trevallon’s website states not to drink this wine before 2020.

Made from approximately two-thirds Marsanne and Roussanne with Clairette, Grenache and Chardonnay in support, each aged in oak barrels, of which half were new. Super-inviting oaky richness with the nutty, ripe stone fruit bursting through the creamy/mealy barrel influence. Savoury with its freshness derived more from the grainy texture and a very slight but attractive sour note on the finish. Powerful but harmonious and delicious – but avoid if you don’t like oak. (JH)
