Depending on the vintage this wine has been labeled as: Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Les Baux, VdP Bouches-du-Rhone and nowadays Vdp Alpilles. This producer also makes a white wine. Ensure your merchant has the color you are looking for.
Producer tasting notes: "On the eye, the colour is intense, showing lovely deep carmine red with purple hints. On the nose, it is powerful and beautifully elegant, marked by very ripe red and black fruits, against a background of white pepper and liquorice spice, very characteristic of Trévallon. The palate is smooth and ends on a long, lovely finish showing very ripe and refined tannins of very high quality. The balance of freshness, tannins and richness suggests this great wine will keep for at least twenty years." - Domaine de Trevallon
