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.
