Detailed information

Vintage

The dry, mild weather of winter continued into spring. The rain arrived just as the buds began to open and the bunches began to emerge, delaying the cycle somewhat but still allowing the vines to flower beautifully. The vines coped well with the record heatwave in the second half of August. The harvest, which took place quite late, was still very hot and dry. The bunches harvested were perfectly healthy overall, with concentrated berries. To sum up, this was a late and generous vintage, with a highly aromatic profile and lovely textures.

Grape varieties

50% Grenache, 50% Syrah

Terroir

Grenache and Syrah vineyards grow on two parcels -“Les Roques” and “Fontbonne”- on clay-limestone soils, located in Sarrians and Vacqueyras villages.

Winemaking

Winemaking and maturation with no added sulfites, in a ‘primeur’ or ‘new’ style: very few pump-overs, a short fermentation period and an early racking off of the wine to favour intense fruit flavours.

Service

Enjoy in its youth to fully appreciate the delicious fruit. Serve chilled at 12°C.

Degree of alcohol

13% vol.

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.
