Detailed information

Vintage

Throughout the year, the planets were perfectly aligned: no frost, winter rains to replenish the soil and a generous summer sunshine without excessive heat. These ideal climatic conditons resulted in very healthy grapes and an excellent sanitary state. A remarkable vintage as much by the quality of the berries as by the duration of the harvest ! (8 weeks)

Grape varieties

Grenache noir, Syrah

Terroir

Soils of clay and limestone from different terroirs of the Vaucluse and the Gard.

Winemaking

Harvest took place during the cool morning hours to preserve fruit freshness and primary aromas. Each grape variety was fermented separately at low temperature (12° to 14°C) then aged for 6 months prior to blending and bottling.

Vegan Friendly.

Service

Enjoy it now and over the next 5 years at 13-15°C.

Technical sheet

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.
