Tasting Notes

A classic Trévallon nose of mulberry, bramble and blackcurrant, with notes of flowers, meat, leather and citrus. The depth of fruit is immense, but the balance is nigh-on perfect, with juicy, citrussy acidity combining with super-ripe tannins in a wine which I find almost impossible to fault. Trévallon is never velvety or soft - it is wild, herby, spicy and full of the flavours of Provence, but the 2007 is generous, yet focused, complex, beautifully structured and possessed of real finesse. One of the best Trévallons - if not the greatest - produced in the last 20 years, and I have no doubt that it will also be very long-lived. An absolute masterpiece.

Rayonnant de naturel cette cuvée est tout simplement magique exprimant un équilibre rare. Le nez est poudré et vibrant, avec des notes de fruits des bois. La bouche est d'un tendre velouté.

The 2007 was the best youthful vintage, already eminently drinkable with lovely a concentration of ripe and dark fruit.

This has a much deeper colour than the 2009 and looks considerably younger. This dense, youthful, black wine has a fabulous nose of roasted barbecued meat with hints of straw and herbes de Provence. There is lots of fruit on the palate. This is a real powerhouse. Solid, chunky and with great depth and length. Certainly the best young Trevallon that I've tasted.
