Plan de Dieu: an AOC gaining recognition

Established in 2005 as a new Côtes du Rhône Villages AOC, Plan de Dieu must be at least 50% Grenache, blended with a minimum of 20% Mourvèdre and Syrah. These wines have a lush, concentrated nose, with notes of red fruit, and the ever-present garrigue. We met Hugues Meffre in 2014: he was instrumental in establishing this AOC, and is now co-president of Le Syndicat Intercommunal des Vignerons du Plan de Dieu.
