Domaine de Trevallon - Les Alpilles Rouge 2013
Carved into the northern slopes of Provence’s Alpilles are the spectacularly beautiful vineyards of Domaine de Trévallon. The vines are planted into the hillsides’ steep, chalky, white limestone soil, making the mountains that protect them look as if they are always covered in snow. The jagged, toothy peaks of the Alpilles form a natural barrier between southern France’s Camargue to the south and the bustling city of Avignon to the north.
Organic - 50% syrah, 50% cabernet Sauvignon. Limestone and clay soil, very stony: Hauterivian et Barremian, second stage of the lower Cretaceous, less than 130 million years. No de-stemming, yeasting or sulphur. Ageing 24 months in foudres and barrels. No filtration before bottling
Fresh, lively notes of dark fruits, peppery herbs, sous bois, and hints of cedar all flow to a medium-bodied, silky, moderately concentrated, yet balanced and lengthy beauty. It doesn’t have the density or weight of a top vintage, yet shines for its purity and elegance.
