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, Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, Clairette
Terroir

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.
