Detailed information

Vintage

Freshness, minerality and elegant texture are the character and the typicity of this vintage. Harmonious and particularly qualitative thanks to good weather conditions: a humid winter and dry spring combined with a warm to hot end of summer resulted in very healthy sanitary conditions in the vineyard. The maturation was slow but constant up to harvest time.

Grape varieties

Carignan, Grenache noir, Syrah

Winemaking

Manual harvest and sorting of the grapes. Destemming and vatting during 3 weeks. Punching-down during the first 8 days and pumping over once a day for 3 weeks. The wine is then racked off and undergoes malolactic fermentation.It is matured in vats for approx. 6 months prior to bottling.

Service

Serve at 16° C, now or up to 5 years of age.

Degree of alcohol

14% 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.
