TastingPurple, dark and shiny robe. The nose is generous, offering a floral freshness with notes of violets, white pepper and black tapenade.

Detailed information
Vintage
The 2022 vintage was characterised by a historically hot and dry spring and summer. These phenomena led to increasing precocity at each stage of the vine’s development. However, flowering took place under ideal conditions. Rainfall in mid-August allowed the harvest to proceed more smoothly, with the grapes being harvested from mid-August to early October. At the end of this very unusual vintage, the wines have excellent structure and colour.
Grape varieties
Terroir
The St Joseph appellation is over 50 km long, with steep, terraced vineyards stretching along the right bank of the Rhône River, between Condrieu in the north and St Peray in the south. St Joseph is produced almost entirely from the Syrah grape, grown in light soils of schist and gneiss on granitic bedrock.
Winemaking
Service
Best served between 14 and 16°C, now or within 5 to 6 years from the vintage.
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.
