Detailed information
Vintage
In 2022, the weather conditions were particularly hot and dry. These warm, dry conditions began in early May and resulted in early bud-break and vegetal growth. Practically no rain fell right up to mid-August, suggesting an early harvest. Then, from the 15th of August until the 5th of September, it rained one third of annual rainfall! Following a pause of several days to allow the vines to recover, the harvest finally took place under ideal conditions and resulted in a high-quality vintage with ripe and generous fruit.

Winemaking
Harvested from August 25th to September 2nd 2022. The destemmed grapes were placed directly into tanks without crushing.
Maceration lasted 4 to 5 weeks with daily pumping-over to favour the diffusion of the tannins and a gentle concentration.
70% of the cuvée was matured for 9 months in French oak barrels from 2 to 4 wines. Bottled on 20th July 2023. 7 876 bottles and 391 magnums produced. Vegan friendly.

Château Grand Escalion
Located in Générac, south of the Roman city of Nîmes, Château Grand Escalion is an estate dating back to 1884. Since 2002, it has been managed by Maison Gabriel Meffre. The vineyard's 44 hectares are spread over a single area surrounding the estate and stretch across gentle slopes. The Château owes its name to the word “Escalion”, meaning “ascent” in Provençal. The Estate produces red, rosé and white Costières de Nîmes. The grape varieties and our terroir enable the vineyard manager, Nicolas Speranza, to capitalise on the great potential of the appellation by creating single-vineyard cuvées.
