TastingBeautiful colour, deep red with purple hints. A generous nose offering black fruits, blackcurrant and blackberry aromas underlined by a delicate spicy note of garrigue. Intense black fruit notes fill the palate in a fresh and refined style lingering nicely through the finish. (December 2021)

Detailed information
Vintage
This year, the harvest was a bit later than usual. As everywhere else, the June heat wave and the summer drought resulted in lower yields. Fortunately, quality remained high. Finally, the storms in July and August allowed the grapes to reach optimum ripeness. This rainfall did not make up for the drought however, which resulted in smaller, concentrated berries with intense aromas and flavours.
Grape varieties
71% Grenache, 21% Mourvèdre, 8% Syrah
Terroir
The plot is located South of the appellation, in the sector called ‘Garrigues’. Vines are grown on a terrace of alluvium pebbles lying on a soil of sandy marl and safres from the Tertiary period.
Winemaking
The harvest began with the Syrah on September 24 and ended on October 7 with the Mourvèdre.
The entirely manual harvest was sorted, crushed and destemmed as soon as it arrived in the cellar. The 24-day maceration period was punctuated by frequent pumping over. Then we separated the free-run and press wine which was partly reincorporated in the final blend after malolactic fermentation.

Domaine de Longue Toque
Nestled in the foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail since 1918, the Domaine de Longue Toque is one of the prestigious estates of Maison Gabriel Meffre since 1999. It takes its name from the long groves – ‘touque’ in Provençal – which delimited the parcelles by protecting them from the wind. The vineyards are located on a mosaic of terroirs that draw their original character from different geological layers, altitudes and exposures. The vineyard produces 6 appellations over 43 hectares: Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Cairanne, Rasteau, Côtes du Rhône Villages Plan de Dieu and Côtes du Rhône red and white. After 20 years in Terra Vitis (sustainable viticulture), 2020 marks the first year of certification for organic farming at the Domaine. A continuity in our desire to work the land and the wine with respect for nature and people. 2023 is to be the first harvest of the white Gigondas.
