Tasting

Beautiful bright yellow color. The mouth reveals flavors of white flowers with pear and peach notes. A great balance with a fruity finish.

Food & wine pairings

Délicious as an aperitif or paired with cod fillet in foil, ravioli with ricotta cheese, or grilled white meat such as chicken or pork.

Detailed information

Vintage

Throughout the year, the planets were perfectly aligned: no frost, winter rains to replenish the soil and a warm summer without excessive heat. These ideal climatic conditions produced magnificent grapes with an early ripening and an excellent sanitary state. A remarkable vintage as much by the quality of the berries as by the lenght of the harvest ! (8 weeks)

Grape varieties

Clairette, Grenache noir, Roussanne, Viognier

Terroir

The selected parcels are from two terroir profiles:

– The Grenache and Viognier come from the eastern Gard area, on clay and sand.

– The Roussanne and Clairette are harvested on limestone soils in the Vaucluse.

Winemaking

The harvest took place early in the morning to preserve the primary fruit aromas. All the grapes were pressed together. Optimized settling of the lees to boost aromatic potential (between 3 and 6°C) before fermentation at low temperature (12 – 14°C). The ageing in vats lasted for 6 months before bottling.

Vegan wine.

Service

Enjoy it cool between 10°C to 12°C.

Degree of alcohol

12,5% 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.
