Domaine de Trévallon rouge 2016

Presentation

40th vintage of the estate.

The vintage

Unfortunately, wild boars made it in the vineyard ...
We never had such damage in the past: 30% of the harvest was lost. Preferring Syrah more, the wild boars ate less Cabernet. The 2016 vintage, due to this "natural" selection, will be made up of 60% Cabernet.

Tasting

A wine with great aromatic complexity: star anise, licorice, wild blackberry, blackcurrant, cedar ... Beautiful ripe tannins and great freshness. Impressive vintage
