Detailed information

Vintage

This year, the harvest was later. As everywhere else, the June heat wave and the summer drought are related to the lower yields. Fortunately, quality was not affected. Finally, the storms in July and August let the grapes reach their optimum ripeness. This rainfall did not make up for the drought, which resulted in smaller berries with intense aromas.

Grape varieties

50% Grenache, 50% Syrah

Terroir

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

Winemaking

Vinification and maturation with no suphiltes added, in a “primeur” style : not much assembly, short fermentation and fast devatting to keep a pure fruit.

Service

Enjoy now and preferable within the year following the vintage.

Serve at 15°-18°C.

Degree of alcohol

14,5% 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 5 appellations over 47 hectares: Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Cairanne, 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.
