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.

Grape varieties

Grenache noir, Syrah

Terroir

Primarily clayey limestone soils from the north of Vaucluse and Gard departments. With a Southern French climate renowned for its contrasts, the vineyards benefit from the summer heat for perfect maturing and the famous Mistral wind that keeps the grapes healthy.

Winemaking

Each grape variety is vinified individually to develop its own characteristics. The vatting time lasts 3 to 4 weeks according to grape variety. The wines are then racked off and undergo malolactic fermentation. The different grape varieties are then blended and aged 6 months in vats before bottling.

Vegan Wine.

Service

Best served between 13°C – 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.
