✨ wine.spec_sheet
Originating from the historic Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, this cuvée from Maison J. & G. Meffre reflects the rich viticultural tradition tied to the 14th-century Avignon papacy. The vineyards benefit from the iconic galets roulés—large quartzite stones that store daytime heat and warm the vines through the cool night—set among clay and limestone soils. Vinified traditionally in concrete vats and aged to preserve fruit purity and regional character, the wine displays classic notes of dark plum, black cherry, dried garrigue herbs, black pepper, and subtle earthy spices framed by generous, velvety tannins.
