Goedhuis, October 2009
The 2008 is a union of the aristocratic Cabernet Sauvignon and the zesty Syrah. It delivers layer upon layer of delicious red and blackberry fruit, cassis liqueur and subtle earthy flavours that lead to an alluring wildness on the finish. Voluminous and velvety yet with Trévallon'strademark structure intact, this is a lovely wine that expresses its unique house style as well as the elegance of the 2008 vintage.

Domaine de Trévallon is a cult wine producer located in the rolling hills west of St Rémy de Provence, and originally created by Eloi Dürrbach in 1973. An architect student at the time, he decided to toss aside his protractors to roll up his sleeves and start planting vines in the craggy limestone rock soil surrounding his parents' holiday home. His instincts told him that thedomaine's well draining, mineral-rich soil, arid microclimate and glorious sun would be capable ofproducing exceptionally powerful and expressive wines...and he was right. He planted 15 hectares of Syrah and Cabernet which he then followed with a smattering of Marsanne, Roussanne (from cuttings at Beaucastel) and Chardonnay. Besides using organic viticultural methods, his winemaking is notably natural as well. After handpicking, he ferments the bunches whole without de-stemming, with indigenous yeasts and without temperature control. The wine is matured in large oak foudres for around 2 years before being bottled. Due to the addition of Cabernet, appellation rules insisted in 1993 that his wine must be labelled as a regional Vins de Pays rather than the local AOC, Côteaux d'Aix. Despite the controversialruling, he never looked back. Now, his wines are some of the most sought after in France regardless of their appellation.Read less
