✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted as an elegant homage to the classic art de vivre of the French Riviera, 'Madame' by Gabriel Meffre is a quintessential Provence rosé that captures the sophisticated, sun-drenched spirit of the region. The name itself evokes a sense of timeless French elegance and femininity. Sourced from select vineyards nestled in the heart of Provence, the vines thrive in a classic Mediterranean climate, benefiting from abundant sunshine tempered by the cooling influence of the Mistral wind. The soils, primarily a mix of clay and limestone, impart a distinct mineral undertone to the wine. To preserve its delicate pale pink hue and vibrant primary fruit character, the grapes are harvested in the cool early morning hours, followed by gentle direct pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. This meticulous process yields a fresh, aromatic rosé that beautifully represents the terroir of Provence.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1936 by Gabriel and Juliette Meffre in Gigondas, Maison Gabriel Meffre has evolved from a pioneering family négoce into one of the Southern Rhône Valley’s most influential estates. Now part of the Boisset Collection, the house manages estate holdings—most notably Domaine de Longue Toque, nestled against the jagged limestone ridges and scree of the Dentelles de Montmirail—alongside historic grower partnerships spanning Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Plan de Dieu, and the wider Rhône and southern France. Viticulture emphasizes sustainability and certified organic farming on estate parcels. Under long-tenured head winemaker Véronique Torcolacci, cellar vinification focuses on pristine varietal purity, judicious use of large-format oak, and parcel-specific selections. Benchmark labels encompass the terroir-driven Domaine de Longue Toque cuvées, the prestige 'Laurus' series aged in bespoke 275-liter oak barrels, and the classic Saint-designated Gabriel Meffre signature range.
