Domaine de Trevallon Alpilles Rouge 2016
Blend | France
Organically farmed. The Durbach family plows to encourage the roots of the vines to plunge deeper into the soil for water and nutrients, and they believe in pruning short, which not only reduces the yields but extends the life of the plant by 20 to 50 years.
Just a short distance from Saint-Remy-de-Provence, on the north side of the Alpilles, is the Domaine de Trevallon, situated in the village of Saint-Etienne-du-Gres. Here, everywhere, limestone emerges from the ground. It is ubiquitous and shapes this harsh, dry land. Around the old farmhouse, the vineyards spread out over 17 hectares amid this vibrant and protected countryside.
