Detailed information

Vintage

The 2018 vintage was atypical in many ways. This vintage required a constant presence, from the vineyards to the cellar. After a mild Winter, a wet and rainy Spring gave way to a beautiful Summer, favoring a steady ripening of the grapes. September ushered in an Indian Summer that proved to be more than ideal for the harvest, with cool nights and warm & sunny days. The harvest lasted for a total of 8 weeks, under ideal climatic conditions. The result is an elegant vintage with a particularly aromatic profile and a superb balance.

Grape varieties

Cinsault, Grenache noir, Syrah

Terroir

The vines grow on clay limestone soils from the 2 banks of the Rhône river. With a Mediterranean climate renowned for its contrasts, they benefit from the summer heat and the Mistral wind.

Winemaking

Each grape variety is vinified individually. The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed followed by a low-temperature fermentation. Racking of clear juices and blocking of the malolactic fermentation. Blending of the different grape varieties takes place in December and bottled just after in order to capture all the freshness and juicy-fruit notes.

Vegan Friendly.

Service

Enjoy it cool, between 10 to 12°C.

Degree of alcohol

13% vol.

Gabriel Meffre

Delicious and savoury from day one: this is the commitment of our Gabriel Meffre "signature" wines. For each appellation, and in keeping with the characteristics of the vintage, our know-how is recognisable through our experienced blending of "terroirs" and grape varieties and through our careful maturing, favouring purity of fruit and silkyness of texture. Already enjoyable in their first year after bottling, the Crus also have good aging potential.
