Detailed information
Vintage
After a warm and hot summer, some rainy periods enabled the grapes to achieve the ideal maturity. During the harvest (which was early), the wind regulated the excessive temperatures, preserving the aromas of the grapes. This ideal weather and healthy conditions make the 2015 vintage one of the most qualitative in recent years.
Grape varieties
Grenache noir, Syrah
Terroir
Le sol, à tendance calcaire, est constitué de sables et safres et de terrasses d’éboulis caillouteux que l’on trouve sur les villages de Vacqueyras et Sarrians où se mêlent vignes et garrigue. Le climat est méditerranéen, avec deux saisons sèches (été et hiver) et deux saisons pluvieuses (automne et printemps). Le Mistral balaie et assainit le vignoble.
Winemaking
Harvest at optimum ripeness. The wine is stored in vats immediately in order to preserve aromas. The fermentation on skins lasts 3 weeks for an optimal extraction. The temperatures are strictly controlled (28°C maximum). The wine is racked off and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Then it is placed in vats during 8 months before bottling. Ageing in bottle for 6 months.
Service
Enjoy it now and over the next 7 years.
Degree of alcohol
14% 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.
