AOP Gigondas – An exceptional Cuvée, only produced in great vintages. A beautiful tribute to Mr Gabriel Meffre, the founder of our Winery.

description_recompenses

A cool and rainy Spring delayed and stretched out the flowering period. Harvesting finished lately on the 25^th of October. Yields are historically low at 10hl/ha (0.35 tons/acre) with extremely concentrated and remarquably fresh Grenache grapes, ensuring a very good ageing potential.
