Tasting

A very delicate hue with a “rose petal” hints. Generous aromas of pink grapefruit and redcurrant jelly on the nose. Lively mouthfeel bringing finesse and freshness on the finish.

Food & wine pairings

Perfect from aperitif to dessert, with seafood products such as stuffed squid, Provençal mussels, bouillabaisse or even a seafood salad.

Detailed information

Vintage

The year 2021 was ponctated with many climatic events: frost, rain – too many or not enough – and lack of sun… An animated vintage to sum up, but which has given us some pleasant surprises with better volumes than expected, beautiful balance and lower abv. Whites and rosés, picked early, offer a lively freshness and loads of aromas.

Grape varieties

Cinsault, Grenache noir, Syrah

Terroir

Vines grow on both sides of the Rhone river, on calcareous and clay soils. The climate is characterized by rather mild winters and hot & dry summers. The “Mistral” wind blows on the vines, especially during autumn and spring, protecting vineyards from diseases.

Winemaking

Grapes are vinified separately; direct press and cold settling (5-8°C). Alcoolic fermentation at low temperature (10-12°C) to obtain the “best of the fruit”. No malolactic fermentation. Blend of the grape varieties in December. Early bottling to preserve freshness and fruit aromas.

Vegan wine.

Service

Serve cool (12°C).

Degree of alcohol

12% 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.
