Châteauneuf-du-Pape Saint-Théodoric

Enjoy this Châteauneuf du Pape at 16°C with grilled lamb chops or "Provençale" veal.

After a warm and hot summer, some rainy periods enabled the grapes to achieve the ideal maturity. During the harvest (which was early), the wind regulated the excessive temperatures, preserving the aromas of the grapes. This ideal weather and healthy conditions make the 2015 vintage one of the most qualitative in recent years.

After about 12 months of maturing, the different varieties, which were aged partly in oak and partly in vat, are combined to form the final blend before bottling.

The grapes are hand-picked and fully destemmed before fermentation. Each grape variety is fermented individually and fermentation/maceration lasts for approximately 4 weeks.

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.
