For their tenth anniversary podcast, Jason lays on six bottles of wine from one of the most idiosyncratic and legendary domaines of the world. Say the word ‘Trevallon’ and wine lovers and savants from all over the world will come running. Say it in a restaurant and you’ll find yourself £300 lighter. From Clinton to MacCartney, Trevallon’s relatively short history is a tapestry as rich as the one that Jacqueline, the domaine’s owner, made at Picasso’s behest, that now hangs in the U.N. building. Everything about Trevallon confounds. The appellation changes from vintage to vintage, although Jacqueline’s son, Eloi Dűrrbach's recipe remains the same. Climate and bottle age do the rest. To taste Trevallon, today, is to take a journey down the decades to 1973 when the world was a simpler, nobler place. It’s quite simply, the best of the best and you can’t put that in a podcast.
