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!

Super dusty, would have pegged it for much older. Wet leather, cedar, and cloves. Tasty, but shouldn’t sit for much longer. — 2 years ago
