Trévallon

Wines from domaine de Trévallon: best price guaranteed

Located on the northern slopes of the Alpilles, not far from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the domaine de Trévallon is an iconic figure in Provence. It was taken over in the 1960s by a couple of artists, Jacqueline and René Dürrbach, who lived on the neighboring property. Their son Eloi decided to plant the estate's first vines in 1973. The early days were not easy. It was only from the 1980s onward that domaine de Trévallon began to make a name for itself, thanks to a restaurateur located not far from the property. Today, the vineyard covers 15 hectares of red grapes (50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Syrah) and 2 hectares of white grapes (33% Roussanne, 33% Marsanne, 11% Grenache, 9% Clairette, and a little Chardonnay).

Frequently Asked Questions

Domaine de Trévallon produces its red wines from an exclusive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, planted in equal proportions across its 17 hectares of vines. This choice is directly inspired by what was practiced in Provence before phylloxera, and it is precisely this atypical blend, combined with the limestone terroir of the Alpilles, that forges the unique and recognizable style of Trévallon. The proportion between the two grape varieties varies slightly from one vintage to another, in order to seek the best possible balance according to the climatic conditions of the year.

Created in the early 1990s, the white wine from domaine de Trévallon gives pride of place to the Rhône varieties marsanne and roussanne, complemented by chardonnay. Since the 2022 vintage, the blend has been further enriched with a homeopathic touch of muscat blanc à petits grains, sourced from a small early-ripening plot, which adds even greater complexity to the wine's aromatic profile. This white wine, renowned for its tension and its exceptional aging potential, is produced in very limited quantities.

The story of domaine de Trévallon dates back to the 1950s, when René and Jacqueline Dürrbach settled in the Alpilles. Their son Éloi launched the winegrowing venture in earnest in 1973. After Éloi’s sudden death in November 2021, the next generation—his children Ostiane and Antoine—has carried on the family legacy, supported by a loyal team that has been with the estate for decades. The estate thus remains deeply rooted in its family and artistic history.

When the AOC Baux-de-Provence was created, Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up half of Trévallon's grape varieties, was only authorized up to 20%. Rather than abandoning his convictions and revising his blend, Éloi Dürrbach chose to break free from the appellation in order to preserve the integrity of his wines. Since 2009, the estate has claimed the IGP Alpilles designation, a decision that has in no way diminished the worldwide reputation of its cuvées.

Yes, and it has done so from the very beginning. The vines have been grown organically since 1973, without herbicides, insecticides or chemical fertilizers; only sheep manure and deep plowing are used. Adopted long before organic viticulture became a trend, this approach reflects Éloi Dürrbach’s founding philosophy: to let the terroir express itself with as little intervention as possible, both in the vineyard and in the winery.

The reds from the domaine de Trévallon are among the most age-worthy wines of Provence. These splendid wines for aging require a minimum of ten years to fully reveal their complexity, with notes of dark fruit, spices, and garrigue that gradually meld on the palate. The deliberately modest yields, below 25 hl/ha, and the longevity of the vines, aged 20 to 50 years, contribute to the concentration and depth that are the hallmark of the estate's vintages. For enthusiasts wishing to discover these wines at their peak, a patience of fifteen to twenty years is often rewarded.

History of Domaine de Trévallon

The history of Domaine de Trévallon begins in the 1950s, when Éloi Dürrbach's parents — painter and sculptor René and tapestry artist Jacqueline de La Baume — settled in the Alpilles. Close to figures such as Picasso, Léger and Delaunay, they acquired the Mas Chabert in 1950, then the adjacent Trévallon estate in the early 1960s, financed in part by the sale of a tapestry inspired by Guernica to Nelson Rockefeller. What was then nothing more than a patch of wild garrigue became, under Éloi's impetus in 1973, an audacious viticultural project: at 21, abandoning his architecture studies in Paris, he blasted the limestone hills to plant his first vines, convinced by the 19th-century writings of Jules Guyot that cabernet sauvignon and syrah could thrive there.

A self-taught enthusiast, Éloi transformed these hostile lands into a harmonious ecosystem, integrating vines, olive trees and garrigue. The first vintages, vinified in the open air in 1976, quickly won acclaim: Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, importer Kermit Lynch and Robert Parker all praised them, propelling Trévallon onto the international stage. Refusing the constraints of the AOC Baux-de-Provence in 1993, which limits cabernet to 20%, Éloi opted for Vin de Pays status, then IGP Alpilles in 2009, thereby preserving the integrity of his blends. Uncompromisingly organic, ahead of its time in natural winemaking, the estate became an absolute benchmark. At his sudden passing in November 2021, Éloi left a torch to his wife Floriane and their children: Antoine, trained alongside Laurent Vaillé and Jean-Louis Chave, manages the vineyard; Ostiane, who returned 15 years ago after studies in viticulture and oenology, excels in observing the vines and evolving cellar practices. With a loyal team — Jean-Luc in the vineyard for 30 years, Aimeric in the cellar for 15 — the new generation carries on this family saga, enriching the legacy with subtle innovations to meet the challenges of climate change.

Terroirs and Vineyards of Domaine de Trévallon

At the foot of the Alpilles massif, on its north-facing slope, the Trévallon terroir is a preserved gem: arid, rocky hillsides where white limestone, blue marl and a carpet of erosion-worn pebbles create a filtering, mineral soil ideal for deep-rooted vines. These 17 hectares — 15 for the reds, 2 for the whites — are spread across small plots within a two-kilometre radius, integrated into a magnificent landscape of holm oaks, centuries-old olive trees and wild thyme. The altitude tempers the Provençal heat, lending a rare northern freshness to this part of southern France, while the north-facing aspect shields the vines from excessive sun.

Certified organic since 1973, with no herbicides, insecticides or chemical fertilisers — only sheep manure and deep ploughing — the vines benefit from short pruning for modest yields (below 25 hl/ha) and an extended lifespan of 20 to 50 years. Éloi planted cabernet sauvignon and syrah in equal proportions for the reds, inspired by pre-phylloxera grape varieties; for the whites, marsanne and roussanne dominate, complemented by chardonnay and, since 2022, a homeopathic touch of muscat à petits grains for added aromatic complexity. Regenerated through mass selection replanting with nurseryman Lilian Bérillon, this vineyard expresses a serene ecosystem in which the Alpilles terroir infuses minerality and garrigue-tinged typicity into every cuvée.

Winemaking at Domaine de Trévallon

In the cellar, Trévallon's philosophy remains true to Éloi's minimalist spirit: "The less you do, the better." Self-taught, he favoured an artisanal, intuitive winemaking approach that respects the fruit, free from oenological dogma. The grapes, harvested at optimal ripeness in wicker baskets, ferment with indigenous yeasts only, as whole clusters for the reds (100% whole cluster), encouraging gentle extraction and silky tannins. No temperature control, no systematic additions: the magic works naturally, with light pump-overs and punch-downs to preserve freshness.

The reds are aged for two years in large oak casks (95%) and barrels (5%), while the whites spend one year in barriques, demi-muids and, more recently, terracotta amphorae for a more nuanced texture. Under Ostiane's guidance, practices are evolving subtly: less new wood, less bâtonnage to avoid excessive creaminess, and reduced racking to preserve antioxidant particles. Unfiltered and with little or no sulphur added, these wines are born of a "biblical" approach — simple, patient — where the terroir and the vintage set the pace. The result: taut, dense and refined cuvées, ready to age for 10 to 25 years, rivalling the great Bordeaux or Rhône crus.

The Cuvées of Domaine de Trévallon

Trévallon's cuvées come in two exceptional gems, to enrich your cellar or elevate your meals.

The Rouge IGP Alpilles, the beating heart of the estate, blends 50% cabernet sauvignon and 50% syrah, capturing the soul of the Alpilles: a complex nose of garrigue, spices (cinnamon, pepper), black fruits and truffle; a full-bodied palate, tensed by a calcareous minerality, with velvety tannins and a peppery finish. Tannic in youth, it opens up after 4–5 years, revealing a Mediterranean freshness and a northern structure for exceptional ageing potential (up to 25 years). Standout vintages: 2009 (ripe fruits, silky tannins), 2005 (spiced balance), 2000 (truffle and smoky notes).

The Blanc IGP Alpilles, a confidential production from 2 hectares, blends 45% marsanne, 45% roussanne, 10% chardonnay and a touch of grenache blanc (and muscat since 2022 for added floral complexity): a pale robe with green highlights, aromas of white fruits, flowers, honey and saffron; a rich, vinous palate, sculpted by fine bitterness and a persistent saline minerality. Aged for a balanced texture, it excels young for its freshness or after 5–10 years for its evolving length. Notable vintages: 2016 (fruity intensity, vibrant minerality), 2014 (vanilla, apple tatin).

These wines, with their unique labels signed by René Dürrbach — colourful drawings evoking each vintage — are legends of the great Provençal terroirs.
