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, 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 10 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.
