Detailed information
Vintage
The year 2021 was ponctuated 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.
Grape varieties
Terroir
Located south of the massif that separates the Aygues and Ouvèze valleys, the appellation extends only to the commune of Cairanne in the northwestern part of the Vaucluse. The grape varieties flourish on shallow soils located not far from the vast terrace of the “Plan de Dieu” and benefiting from a warm and dry climate.
Winemaking
The grape varieties are vinified separately, allowing each to fully express its distinctive character. Vatting lasts from 3 to 4 weeks depending on the grape variety. After racking and malolactic fermentation, the grape varieties are blended. The wine is then kept for 6 months in vats before bottling.

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.
