Detailed information
Vintage
The year 2024 was marked by mild, hot weather. A wet spring, much wetter than average, had an impact on production and resulted in low yields, especially for the Grenache grapes, which were harvested on 27th August. This early harvest was necessary to preserve the acidity and freshness of the berries, which are essential for rosé wine. The Cinsault was harvested on 26th August and the Mourvèdre on 11th September. The 2024 vintage offers us a fresh, lively and harmonious wine.
Grape varieties
Terroir
The parcels from which the grapes for this cuvée are produced come primarily from clay-rich soils, with the exception of a plot of Grenache, with a richer profile, coming from a pebble-rich hillside vineyard.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested between 26th August and 11th Sept.in the early morning while the temperatures were still cool. The grapes were pressed directly upon arriving in the winery (from 3 a.m.) to retain freshness. Racking-off of the must after 48h static settling at 15°C (59°F). A slow, gentle fermentation took place over 20 days in closed cement vats at 16°C-18°C (60°F-64°F). At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine was racked off and left to settle naturally in the autumnal coolness of the cellar. Bottled in April 2025. 6,600 bottles produced. Vegan friendly.
Service
Serve chilled between 10° and 12°C (50-53.5°F) within 3 years of age.

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 40 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.
