IGP des Alpilles

At the foot of the Alpilles, the discreet Dominique Hauvette has risen over the years to become one of the elite of the great winegrowers of Provence, one of the most exciting estates of the moment for the discerning wine lover...

"Eloi and Floriane Dürrbach planted the vineyard in 1973, and continue to make Trévallon one of the jewels in the crown of the French wine industry. Located on the northern slopes of the Alpilles, the 17-hectare vineyard, which has been organically farmed since its origin, is predominantly limestone. The Dürrbachs do not claim to be called Baux-de-Provence, as their grape varieties are totally atypical: Cabernet-Sauvignon and Syrah for the reds, Roussanne and Marsanne for the whites, supplemented by a little Chardonnay. The red, which has become mythical, as well as the white, have real potential. The grumblers of local tannin and INAO would do well to take their cue from the perfectly adequate grape varieties of this vibrant and exemplary vin de pays!" Bettane + Desseauve Guide 2018

Si vous ne le savez pas déjà, Aimeric Gaubert est aussi le maître de chai de Trévallon, un petit domaine provençal situé juste de l’autre côté du chemin. La parcelle du Clos de Jacques mesure 1200 m², ce qui est minuscule dans le monde des propriétés viticoles. Les vignes proviennent de sélections massales de son illustre voisin, partageant ainsi le même encépagement. Le Clos n’est pas un "petit" Trévallon, ce sont deux vins distincts.
