Quick Overview

His red wine is traditionally vinified in wooden open top fermentors, with low yields, late picking and long cuvaison, is rich, powerful and complex with the smoky ripeness of Syrah balancing the firm structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine spends 2 years in wooden foudres with about 10% new barriques. The 2001 vintage is extremely concentrated and truly outstanding. * Please enquire within for older vintages and magnums.

Domaine Description

Erloi Durrbach has been producing wine at Domaine de Trévallon since 1977. The vineyard was within the appellation of Coteaux des Baux de Provence, but since Eloi did not agree to plant any other varieties than the Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon which he has always vinified, he lost appellation status and was “demoted” to Vin de Pays. He has even been refused permission to expand his 15 hectare vineyard so new plantings have only become possible by uprooting old vines. His wines are now so sought after that the domaine has attained almost cult status. The distinctive cubist labels were designed by Eloi's father - a friend and contemporary of Picasso. Eloi was Picasso's godson! We are fortunate enough to still have stocks of older vintages.
