My introduction to this wonderful estate was first via their Rasteau sold by the British Rhone specialist Yapp Brothers, it has always been a favourite of mine. The Gigondas blend is 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre. Average age of the vines around 60 years. Maturation is 12 months in demi-muids and vat. The wines are unfined and unfiltered. The Gayan style tends towards the supple and approachable - tannins can be fierce in young Gigondas but Meffre wines usually exhibit refined versions of these tannins and a balanced freshness. There are ripe fruit and layers of oak, tar, tobacco, licorice, kirsch and spice.
