Tasting

"After the first pressings, we were certain that the 2007 red will be powerful, rich, and silky, with great smoothness. It is a fruity and spicy wine at the same time."

"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. " [+]
