Tasting

“The 2019 Côtes Du Rhône from Domaine de Longue Toque is also impressive, with lots of classic red and black fruits as well as notes of Provençal herbs and pepper, medium-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a clean, length finish.” Jeb Dunnuck, october 2020

Detailed information

Vintage

This year, the harvest was a little late and was deferred by ten days compared to 2018. Despite a particularly hot season, the vineyard didn’t suffer from extreme temperatures thanks to the reserves generated by the heavy rains the previous autumn. Storms in July and August allowed the vines to complete their maturation cycle and to offer grapes with exceptional quality and remarkable acidity.

Grape varieties

40% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah, 10% Carignan

Terroir

The grapes come from ancient pebbly terraces over sandy marl on the sector of Blovac, just south of Rasteau. This particular terroir brings minerality and structure to the wine.

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.
