Domaine de Trevallon IGP Alpilles red 2022 Mathusalem 6L

Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Alpilles 2022 is a simply sensational wine, and I suspect the greatest vintage ever produced by this estate. Made from equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah and aged for two years in foudre, it still boasts a brilliant ruby/purple color and offers sensational notes of crème de cassis, tobacco leaf, olive tapenade and peppery herbs. Full-bodied richness, thrilling purity, seamless texture and breathtaking depth and richness, this tour de force from the south of France should continue to drink beautifully for another two decades.

Deep garnet color with violet hues. The bouquet opens with blackberry, cassis, herbs, spices, and smoky notes. On the palate, it is velvety yet precise, with fine-grained tannins, beautiful minerality, and a long, layered finish. A great wine built for the ages, with 20+ years of cellaring potential.
