Gabriel Meffre
Ventoux “Saint Pétrarque” 2023

AOP Ventoux Red

Tasting

A brilliant ruby-red colour with hints of violet. The nose is delicious, with notes of black cherries. On the palate, a fine balance between fruit and acidity. Delicious red berry flavours with a fresh finish. (tasting october 2024)

Food & wine pairings

Perfect accompaniment to everyday dishes such as Morteau sausage, Pot-au-feu or delicatessen meats.

Detailed information

Vintage

The dry, mild weather of winter continued into spring. The rain arrived just as the buds began to open and the grapes were emerging, delaying the cycle somewhat but still allowing the vines to flower beautifully. The vines resisted the record heatwave in the second half of August. The harvest, which took place quite late, was still very hot and dry. The grapes harvested were perfectly healthy overall, with concentrated berries. All in all, a generous, late 2023 vintage with a particularly aromatic, elegant and fresh profile.

Grape varieties

Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache noir, Syrah

Terroir

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.
