Detailed information

Vintage

A vintage marked by a historically hot and dry spring and summer a, comparable to 2003. These phenomena led to increasing vine development. The flowering took place under ideal conditions. Rainfall in mid-August made for a smoother harvest, the harvest from mid-August to early October. At the end of this atypical climate, the wines have excellent structure and colour.

Grape varieties

Grenache, Cinsault et Syrah

Terroir

Vines grow on both sides of the Rhone river, on calcareous and clay soils. The climate is characterized by rather mild winters and hot & dry summers. The “Mistral” wind blows on the vines, especially during autumn and spring, protecting vineyards from diseases.

Winemaking

Grapes are vinified separately; direct press and cold settling (5-8°C). Alcoolic fermentation at low temperature (10-12°C) to obtain the “best of the fruit”. No malolactic fermentation. Blend of the grape varieties in December. Early bottling to preserve freshness and fruit aromas.

Vegan wine.

Service

Serve cool (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.
