“Trélans en blanc offers both depth and richness, derived from subtle oak aging, and a crystal-clear palate. ” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2022 - RVF). A white wine that reveals notes of fresh pear, quince, and honeysuckle, accompanied by hints of smoked black tea and a zesty citrus zest. A rich, very fresh, and complex wine that pairs well, for example, with sea bass in a salt crust.

Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Alain Chabanon, who settled in Montpeyroux in 1992 after working at Château Montus and in Corsica, also cultivates vineyards in Jonquières, Saint-André, Lagamas, and Saint-Saturnin. A pioneer in organic winemaking, Alain is one of the most refined and fascinating winemakers. While some of his vintages were occasionally the subject of debate in the past, magnificent new facilities have enabled him to take a significant step forward. The aging profiles, which were previously quite noticeable, will evolve significantly with the shift to large oak vats instead of barrels. Concrete “eggs” used for the Mourvèdre grapes have added a touch of freshness. A bit more body in the wines would allow the estate to compete in a higher league.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 92/100

Rated Estate (2026 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the wine:

Trélans en blanc offers both depth and richness, derived from subtle oak aging, and a crystal-clear palate.

About the estate:

Alain Chabanon settled on the outskirts of Montpeyroux in 1992 after learning the trade from Alain Brumont in Madiran and Count Peraldi on the “Isle of Beauty.” A dedicated and inspired winemaker, he quickly distinguished himself through hard work in the vineyard and bold decisions regarding viticultural practices, blends, and aging methods. Patience is key for these unpretentious, highly textured wines, which are aged in stainless steel, concrete eggs, or large oak casks and bottled late, once they have mellowed. The overall impression is balanced and precise, with exemplary management of terroir expression and ripeness. We commend the work that has gone into these wines and the distinct personality of each one.
