Detailed information
Vintage
The weather was quite challenging for the 2021 vintage. The mild temperatures of the winter brought forward the emergence of the buds which did not resist the frost of early April. The stormy summer required more vigilance concerning the sanitary state of the grapes. Despite low yields, the high standard of grape selection allowed us to produce very elegant and tasty wines.
Grape varieties
Syrah
Terroir
The Syrah grapes for this Crozes Hermitage are sourced from several terroirs, including the quaternary terraces around Mercurol and the colluvium and sandy plane of “Les Chassis”.
Winemaking
The grapes are destemmed and crushed. Fermentation, which is strictly temperature-controlled to preserve the fruit and aromatic freshness, took place in tank and lasted for around 20 days. The wine was then racked off to undergo malo-lactic fermentation before maturing another 8 months in tank. Vegan wine.
Service
Serving temperature : 14-16°C.
Will improve in the cellar in the next 6 to 8 years.
Degree of alcohol
12,5% 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.
