Flavourfull and balanced with elegant floral notes (chamomile, broom) and generous aromas of summer fruits (white peach, apricot). A tasty mouth that lingers in a pleasant feeling of freshness.

Delicious on its own as an aperitif, or paired with summer salads, poultry or fish.

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.

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.
