A gorgeous wine that's still youthful and vibrant, the 2004 Bouches du Rhone is an even split of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 2 years in a combination of foudre and barrel. Seamless, elegant and layered, with fabulous cassis, lead pencil shavings, tobacco leaf and spice, this full-bodied beauty is perfectly balanced, with no hard edges, fine tannin and terrific length. Drink nicely now, it has the concentration and balance to continue to evolve gracefully for at least another decade.

Producer
Domaine De Trévallon
A cult-wine producer situated amongst the rolling hills of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Domaine de Trévallon is located in the small village of Saint-Etienne-du-Grès. Originally created by Eloi Dürrbach back in 1973, when he planted his first vineyard on the north-facing side of the Alpilles to Syrah and Cabernet varieties. Today, the omnipresent limestone terroir has grown into over 17-hectares of vines that surround the old farmhouse, planted to Marsanne, Roussanne and Chardonnay. This benchmark Provençal estate is now titled with IGP status, producing classic reds that are very impressive, and refined examples of the appellation. Barrel-aged in large older wood, the reds here benefit from about five years’ cellaring. The white is a blend of Marsanne, Roussanne, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Chardonnay, it is a barrique-fermented and intense wine with subtle floral and nutty-fruit essences
