TRÉVALLON: A UNIQUE ESTATE, INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED WINES

In the heart of the Alpilles, in a beautiful natural setting, the Trévallon estate gives birth to nectars of rare finesse that undoubtedly rank among the world's greatest wines. In 1973, Eloi and Floriane Dürrbach penned the first chapter of one of Provence's most beautiful success stories, Trévallon was born. The story continues with Ostiane Dürrbach Icard, who takes over the reins of the family estate, assisted by her brother Antoine. This unique estate was born solely from Eloi Dürrbach's intuition, an exceptional winemaker who has always managed his precious 17-hectare vineyard with the utmost respect for nature. Like an artist, he listens to his vines, allows his terroir to express itself by intervening as little as possible in winemaking. The result is wines that impress with their inimitable style and level of excellence confirmed by the release of each new vintage. This magnificent work takes us behind the scenes of this legendary estate. With the collaboration of photographers Hans Silvester, Denis Laveur, and Thierry Veson, the author tells us the genesis of Trévallon and its unusual history written by a family of artists. Words and photographs come together like in a poem to give this work its full dimension. It was in 2016 that Guy Jacquemont, the author, met Eloi Dürrbach and convinced him of the project.

"Of course, I knew the great wines of Trévallon, but Eloi fascinated me with his personality, his simplicity, and impressed me with his vision of wine, his taste for freedom, and the strength of his intuitions."
The author spent three years at the estate to draw inspiration from Trévallon's soul, meeting those who contribute to Trévallon daily, those who have shared its wines for 40 vintages now, and those who have a high degree of friendship with Eloi and his family. Undoubtedly, the originality of the work that devotes a significant place to the members of the estate team as well as loyal friends, whether they are recognized winemakers, sommeliers, top chefs, or wine importers. By delving into the soul of Trévallon, the author also fulfilled his own dream of discovering not only a great wine but an exceptional wine. The reader will thus immerse themselves in the wild charm of Trévallon and the sobriety of its landscapes and people, gaining a better understanding of the high level of demand of a man who has made Trévallon what it is today.
