For several years, rainfall has been non-existent in the summer. However, in 2021 we had 20 mm in July and 25 mm in August, small but beneficial rains for the vineyard. One of the coolest summers in recent years: Average temperature of 24°C in July and August compared to 27°C in 2022.
Limestone and clay soil, very stony: Hauterivian et Barremian, second stage of the lower Cretaceous, less than 130 million years. No de-stemming, yeasting or sulphur. Agening 24 months in foudres and barrels. 50/50 Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Serve this wine at 16°C. Decant 1 hour before. A very balanced wine on the palate with rounded tannins. Nose of red fruits, raspberry, cherry where as the palate is slightly vegetal, minty notes that give it freshness. After a few minutes, we find notes of licorice, damp undergrowth. It will marry perfectly with a beef stew. - Domaine de Trevallon.
