Domaine de Trévallon rouge 2020

Trévallon is known for its long aging process, more than 2 years for its reds. Racking is kept to a strict minimum, the lees found at the bottom of the barrels continue to nourish the wine during the ageing process

Tasting

The coolness of the nights allowed to obtain a wine with great liveliness and a beautiful finesse of tannins: Mixture of crushed strawberries and black olives with a finish and Eucalyptus.

This vintage, smooth and supple, will be accessible when young, and can also be kept for many years.

Visual appearance

At first glance, the robe is dazzling, luminous, carmine red with beautiful depth of violet reflections.

At nose

The nose, powerful and complex with notes of scrubland and black olives.

Food pairings

It will go perfectly with lamb, beef...
