Winemaker's Notes: Deep color, aromas of wild blackberries, black cherries and garrigue, also featured on the palate. Very present but nicely-coated tannins creating a rounded sensation in the mouth. Ageing potential is easily 25 years. Pair with short ribs or roast beef joint!
Like his father, Eloi Durrbach studied architecture in Paris. Already in love with wine, he started to trade his artwork for wines from the Vignelaure Chateau, and dreamt of a winemaking experience with his wife on the Domaine of Trevallon. Georges Brunet from the Château de Vignelaure encouraged him to plant Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah (the other consultants thought he should plant Mourvèdre). In 1973 he planted his first vines, and soon thereafter closed his architecture firm, moved to Provence, and became a full-time vigneron. The rest is the wonderful history that has brought us now to the magical wines of Trévallon!
