Detailed information

Vintage

2025 offers a vintage with a distinctive personality, in a year of intense climatic contrasts. Despite lower yields, the concentration and aromatic finesse achieved are remarkable. The periods of heat brought beautiful ripeness, while the late summer rains preserved freshness. The result: balanced, expressive and promising wines. A vintage that will appeal to both enthusiasts and professionals alike with its generosity and brilliance.

Grape varieties

Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah

Terroir

TAVEL, a Southern Rhône «cru», has 950 hectares (2,100 acres) under vine, all located around the village of Tavel, northwest of Avignon. Vines have been cultivated there since the 5th century BC.

This wine is a blend of the 3 famous terroirs of Tavel : limestone slate from the upper slopes, « galets » or cobble stones from the mid-level terraces, and sandy gravel from the vineyards closer to the Rhône river.

Winemaking

After arriving at the winery, a portion of the grapes spends around 8 hours macerating on the skins while the rest are pressed directly upon arriving in the cellar. The different varieties are vinified separately, with fermentation temperatures kept low between 12° and 15° C. After fermentation the wines are blended and spend around 4 months in tank before bottling.

Service

Enjoy when young, between 10° and 12° C.

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.
