Gabriel Meffre Laurus

The Laurel of Excellence in the Rhône Valley

Laurus, the Latin word for "Laurel," was a Roman symbol of triumph and excellence—a fitting name for Maison Gabriel Meffre’s flagship range. This collection represents the quintessence of the Rhône Valley, crafted with a singular focus on terroir-driven precision. By establishing long-term, sustainable partnerships with dedicated growers across the region’s most prestigious appellations, Laurus captures the unique soul of each vineyard, from the sun-drenched stones of Châteauneuf-du-Pape to the steep, terraced slopes of Côte-Rôtie.

A defining characteristic of the Laurus range is its meticulous maturing process. The wines are aged in unique 275-liter French oak "Laurus" barrels, custom-designed to refine the wine's structure while preserving the purity of the fruit and the nuances of the soil. This precise approach results in wines of exceptional character, balance, and long-term aging potential. Consistently earning 90+ point ratings from international critics, Laurus has become a benchmark for those seeking the perfect harmony of power, elegance, and authenticity in Southern Rhône winemaking.

隆河谷地的卓越桂冠

Laurus 在拉丁語中意為「月桂樹」，是古羅馬時期象徵卓越與榮耀的圖騰，這也正是 Maison Gabriel Meffre 旗艦系列的靈魂所在。Laurus 系列致力於展現隆河谷地（Rhône Valley）各產區的精髓，將「風土為本」的理念發揮到極致。透過與當地優秀農友建立長期的永續合作關係，Laurus 精挑細選出能最完美詮釋該產區特性的地塊，從教皇新堡（Châteauneuf-du-Pape）的礫石地到羅第丘（Côte-Rôtie）的陡峭梯田，每一款酒都是對土地最真實的致敬。

Laurus 系列最引人注目的特色在於其獨特的陳釀工藝。酒莊特別訂製了 275 公升的「Laurus」法國橡木桶，這種特殊的容量能更精準地磨礪酒體結構，在賦予酒液層次感的同時，完美保留了果實的純淨度與風土的細膩特徵。這種對細節的極致追求，造就了結構紮實、優雅平衡且具備優異陳年潛力的佳釀。Laurus 系列長期獲得國際酒評家 90 分以上的高度肯定，已成為尋求隆河谷地力量與優雅完美融合的行家首選。
