Coteaux des Baux: Domaine de Trévallon Rouge 2009

Coteaux des Baux: Domaine de Trévallon Rouge 2009

The 2009 has a great balance of berry aromas, ripe fruit, sweet tannin and clean acidity. Considering its southern location Domaine de Trévallon is a very vintage sensitive wine and it appears that the 2009 is going to be a classic. This will hit its optimum drinking window in about 5 years time and should drink well for a decade thereafter.

Coteaux des Baux: Domaine de Trévallon Rouge 2009

2009 was a terrific vintage at Domaine de Trévallon exhibiting a wealth of ripe, concentrated berry- fruit over a structure of mid-weight tannins underscored by a fine acidity. The sweet, sleek fruit and great delineation make this vintage eminently approachable already (if decanted) but it has at least 2 decades aging potential.
Antoine Dürrbach didn’t hesitate to put it in to the ‘Top 10’ vintages at this iconic estate alongside such gems as 1982, 1985, 1990, 1998, 2000, 2005 and 2007.
2009 is the first vintage to be bottled as an IGP ‘Alpilles’

Region: Provence, Coteaux des Baux
Producer: Domaine de Trévallon (Eloi Dürrbach)
Vintage: 2009
Grape variety (Cépage): Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah
Cellarage: Merits long-term ageing, particularly in superior vintages. Drinking well now, it will keep for a further 12 years. It should be decanted prior to serving.
Vinification: Low yields (25-30 hl/ha) and no chemicals give thick-skinned grapes that need 2-3 weeks cuvaison. The parcels of grapes are allowed a warm fermentation, using only indigenous yeasts, in small oak foudres where they rest for 18 months before an unfiltered, unfined assemblage and eventual bottling, 25 months after the harvest.
Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 13%
