Detailed information
Vintage
A vintage with considerable sunshine in the Spring and Summer, similar to 2003. These conditions caused the vines to develop and ripen at a more accelerated pace. Flowering however took place relatively well and in good conditions. Welcome August rains stabilized the situation and allowed the harvest to take place between mid-August and mid-October. The result, from this atypical year, white wines ended up producing a very fine vintage, delicious and generous.
Grape varieties
Grenache blanc, Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, Clairette
Terroir
The grapes selected for the blend of our white Côtes du Rhône are selected from clay-limestone and clay soils in Vaucluse, Gard and Drôme areas.
Winemaking
Harvested in the early morning to preserve the aromatic freshness of the grapes. Grapes are blended before pressing. Cold settling between 3 to 6°C followed by fermentation at low temperature (13-15°C). Ageing in vats during 6 months before bottling. Vegan Friendly.
Service
Enjoy it cool, between 10°C to 12°C.
Degree of alcohol
13% 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.
