“Artists of perseverance” is how we can define the Durrbach family, owners and founders of Domaine de Trevallon (Three Valleys) since 1955 in Saint-Etienne du Gres in the “Les Alpilles” area of Provence. Already Ren\u00e9 Durrbach, a painter and friend of Picasso, together with his wife had already sensed the wine-growing potential of the area, especially after reading the books of Jules Guyot who claimed red grapes before phylloxera. From the 1970s his son Eloi also took over and began planting in 15 hectares both C.Sauvignon and Syrah as well as local white grapes such as Roussanne and Marsanne giving birth to the first label in 1976. In 1993 due to AOC regulations authorizing low percentages of C.Sauvignon in the vineyards to be part of the “Baux de Provence” appellation, the family decided not to adhere downgrading their wines to “Vin de Pays” but keeping the personality that had distinguished them. Chalky, dry soils and Mediterranean climates give the right conditions for powerful wines with incredible longevity, organic viticulture practiced from the beginning, manual work in the vineyard (plowing and short pruning to prolong the life of the plant) and a minimalist approach in the cellar with whole bunch vinification, use of indigenous yeasts and aging in large barrels with very little racking. All traditional and purist techniques that reflect their philosophy of life where the aim is to preserve the identity of the wines themselves each represented annually by a special and different label, a reputation theirs that has made them an indispensable beacon of quality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The only white wine produced by the winery, which together with the red make up the two labels in the selection, and a true revelation of Mediterranean quality. Few quantities are produced each year, and it is a blend of 6%Chardonnay 8%Clairette 9%Grenache blanc 21%Roussanne 56%Marsanne from vines of an average age of 30 years in the Les Baux area rich in dry, calcareous soils. After the grapes are harvested they are vinified separately whole cluster with the use of indigenous yeasts staying on the lees before moving on to age 12 months in large barrels, no filtration before bottling enrich the purity of this wine. A memorable bottle for lovers of white, floral and honey scents do not hide the complexity that lingers in the drink made, however, of great freshness. <\/p>\n
