Gabriel Meffre Chateauneuf du Pape ‘St Theodoric’ 2021

Gabriel Meffre Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Saint Théodoric’ 2021 is a distinguished red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in the Southern Rhône Valley, France. Named after the historic Roman chapel, Saint Théodoric, this wine embodies the rich heritage and traditional winemaking practices of the region.

The 2021 vintage is a harmonious blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, with the latter contributing additional complexity to this vintage.

The wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels, enhancing its structure and depth.
