Gabriel
Meffre was born in a wine grower family, but no one could foresee that he -
when he founded a negociantfirm in 1936 - would become the owner of the
biggest amount of hectares of AOC-vines in France - more than 900 ha -
before his disease in 1987.
After the disease of Gabriel
Meffre his empire was divided between his inheritants.
His
daughter Sylvette - married Brechet - became the owner of Chateau
de Vaudieu in Chateauneuf du Pape.
His
son Christian Meffre inherited Chateau Raspail
together with other properties:
Chateau de Ruth (St. Cécile-les-Vignes), Chateau Saint Jean (Travaillan)
and Domaine de Valori (Courthezon).
