Domaine de Trévallon - IGP Alpilles - Red - 2022

Wine:

Blending equal parts Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown on rocky limestone and clay soils, the 2022 Red IGP Alpilles Trévallon emerges after more than two years of ageing in large oak vats. Despite the extreme drought of the vintage, it remains remarkably velvety, intense, and concentrated, with outstanding ageing potential. The rich fruit core is beautifully complemented by notes of garrigue, black pepper, and a touch of mint, all carried by a long, powerful finish and refined tannins.This is a wine built for the long haul, promising exceptional evolution over time.
