Domaine de Trévallon is a highly acclaimed wine estate located in the Alpilles mountains in Provence, near the town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. Established in 1973 by Eloi Dürrbach, Domaine de Trévallon quickly gained recognition for its unique approach to winemaking in a region predominantly known for rosé wines. The estate has been a pioneer in producing high-quality red and white wines that diverge from traditional Provencal styles.
Domaine de Trévallon is notable for its distinctive blend of grape varieties, particularly for its red wine, which uniquely combines equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. This blend is quite unusual for the region and has set Trévallon apart, giving its wines a distinctive character that combines the structure and depth of Cabernet with the spicy, aromatic qualities of Syrah.
The vineyards of Domaine de Trévallon are set on limestone soils and are farmed organically, reflecting a commitment to sustainable viticulture. Eloi Dürrbach’s philosophy centered on minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the winery, aiming to produce wines that truly express their terroir. This approach includes hand-harvesting, use of native yeasts for fermentation, and avoiding filtration to preserve the wine's natural character.
The estate's wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and capacity to age gracefully. The reds are particularly admired for their deep, rich flavors, firm tannins, and balance, often showing notes of black fruit, pepper, and herbs, with an underlying minerality. Trévallon’s white wines, made from Marsanne and Roussanne, are also highly esteemed, characterized by their aromatic intensity, richness, and freshness.
Domaine de Trévallon has remained a relatively small, family-run estate, with Eloi’s son, Ostiane Dürrbach, now involved, ensuring the continuation of their distinctive winemaking legacy. The wines of Domaine de Trévallon continue to receive high praise from critics and enthusiasts, cementing their status as one of the iconic producers in Provence.

La Provenza es una región del sureste de Francia famosa por su producción de vinos rosados. La historia de la viticultura provenzal se remonta a la Antigüedad, cuando griegos y romanos introdujeron la viticultura en la región. El estilo de producción de la Provenza está muy influido por el clima mediterráneo, con veranos calurosos e inviernos suaves. Los vinos producidos en Provenza son típicamente ligeros y refrescantes, de color rosa pálido y delicados aromas de frutas rojas y flores. Las variedades de uva más utilizadas en Provenza son garnacha, cinsault, syrah y mourvèdre. Además del rosado, la Provenza también produce vinos tintos y blancos, así como vinos generosos como el Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise. En general, la Provenza es una región conocida por sus vinos de alta calidad, perfectos para disfrutar en un cálido día de verano.
