Côtes du Rhône Villages Laurus

Veal "filet mignon", white asparagus in morel sauce or lamb from Provence with Mediterranean vegetables.

All grapes have been harvested at their optimum maturity, delivering intense aromas and a beautiful freshness. Red wines are particularly colorful, with lots of polyphenols, which is essential for making wines with a very long ageing potential. 2015 promises to be an exceptional vintage in the Rhone Valley! Harvest took place between the 7th Sept. and the 10th Oct.

59% of the wine is aged in 275lt-oak Laurus barrels for 17 months (1 & 2-year barrels).

Partial destemming and crushing upon arrival at the winery. 3 weeks of maceration with punch-downs and pumping over.

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.
