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.

Grape varieties

Clairette, Grenache noir, Roussanne, Viognier

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 (12 -14°C). The ageing in vats lasted for 6 months before bottling.
Vegan Friendly.

Service

Enjoy it cool between 10°C to 12°C.

Degree of alcohol

12% vol.

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.
