Detailed information

Vintage

The dry, mild weather of winter continued into spring. The rain arrived just as the buds began to open and the grapes were emerging, delaying the cycle somewhat but still allowing the vines to flower beautifully. The vines resisted the record heatwave in the second half of August. The harvest, which took place quite late, was still very hot and dry. The grapes harvested were perfectly healthy overall, with concentrated berries. All in all, a generous, late 2023 vintage with a particularly aromatic, elegant and fresh profile.

Grape varieties

Grenache blanc, Roussanne, Viognier, Clairette, Bourboulenc

Terroir

The selected parcels are from two terroir profiles:
– The Grenache and Viognier come from the eastern Gard area, on clay and sand soils.
– The Roussanne and Clairette are harvested on limestone soils in the Vaucluse county.

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 (13°C – 15°C). The ageing in vats lasted for 6 months before bottling.
Vegan Friendly.

Service

Enjoy it cool between 10°C to 12°C.

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.
