Domaine de Trévallon is one of the most iconic estates in Southern France. Nestled at the foot of the Alpilles mountains, it has built its reputation on a singular vision: producing age-worthy wines that combine Mediterranean character with freshness, structure and remarkable longevity.

The Estate

The property was acquired by René and Jacqueline Dürrbach in the 1950s, but the story truly began in 1973 when their son, Éloi Dürrbach, planted the first vineyards on what was then considered unsuitable terrain for viticulture. His unconventional choice of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah challenged regional norms and helped establish Trévallon as one of Provence’s most respected and sought-after estates. Today, the next generation continues the family’s work while preserving its fiercely independent spirit.

Vineyards and Terroir

The vineyards lie on the northern slopes of the Alpilles, surrounded by olive groves, wild herbs and Mediterranean forest. Deep limestone soils, combined with elevation and cooling influences from the surrounding hills, create a unique microclimate that preserves freshness even in warm vintages. The estate farms organically and maintains low yields to maximize concentration, balance and vineyard expression.

Winemaking

The philosophy remains traditional and low intervention. Grapes are harvested by hand, fermented with indigenous yeasts and frequently vinified with whole clusters. Ageing takes place in large, seasoned oak foudres that allow slow development while preserving purity of fruit and terroir character. Every decision is guided by the pursuit of elegance, texture and longevity.

Wine Style

The reds combine dark fruit, garrigue herbs, spice and mineral tension with remarkable freshness and ageing potential. The whites offer texture, energy and complexity while maintaining precision and balance. Across the range, Trévallon wines are known for their individuality, authenticity and ability to evolve gracefully for decades.
