Gabriel Meffre ‘Saint Mapalis’
Côtes du Rhône Villages – Plan de Dieu AOC,
GSM Blend (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre)

A textbook Rhône blend with soul and structure. From the historic Plan de Dieu terroir, this well-balanced GSM opens with enticing aromas of blackberry, earthy undertones, and a whisper of garrigue.

On the palate: Lush layers of black fruit, liquorice, and subtle spice carry through to the finish. The texture is soft, round, and delicate, yet the wine still shows the distinctive Rhône character you’d expect from a higher-tier cuvée.

Mouthfeel: Polished, silky, and balanced, ready to drink now with no need to wait.

Value alert: Punches well above its price point, tastes like it should cost twice as much.

A perfect match for grilled meats, herbed lamb, or a cozy night in.
Cheers to Rhône elegance without breaking the bank!

Opened yesterday, drank over 2 days.
The nose is very fruity and intense with dark cherry touches, earthy notes, some raspberry and blackberry scents too. I could even smell some peony notes too. This is really inviting. The palate is wide and long and quite complex. A good acid drive, some dark cherry notes all along, some very soft and easy going mouthfeel that is changing in mid palate with a great tannic wall, which adds a layer of dust over an otherwise quite juicy and fruity finish. In the back-end though, there is a tiny savoury note that pops along with a subtle bitterness. This is really my kind of cab franc. Really good stuff! — a year ago
