    Owner and history

    Le Méal Blanc comes from Marsanne vines over 50 years old, on the slopes of Hermitage. The plot covers 2 hectares of vines, planted in alluvial soil composed of rolled pebbles. These characteristics impart a high minerality to the grapes. The vineyard is cultivated organically and biodynamically.
