Detailed information

Vintage

2024 stands out for its freshness and balance, a breath of fresh air in a demanding climate. The rainy spring regenerated the soils, and the summer, with its heat and cool nights, brought out the best in the aromas and colours. Despite modest yields of fine quality, the harvest produced fresh, dynamic and harmonious wines, with well-balanced alcohol levels and well-integrated tannins. Overall, we found the balanced profiles of classic vintages, with ripeness, acidity and richness.

Grape varieties

Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre

Terroir

The vines are located in the villages of Vacqueyras & Sarrians on soils of alluvial deposits and stony terraces.

Winemaking

Harvested at full maturity, the grapes were destemmed and placed together in temperature-controled vats. Fermentation, which lasted 3 weeks, was carefully monitored and limited to a maximum of 30°C to preserve fruit and freshness, followed by 18 months of ageing in tank.

Service

Serve at 13-15 °C – Enjoy it now and over the next 10 years.

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.
