AOP Côtes du Rhône Red
Detailed information
Vintage
A dry winter followed by a particularly cool spring with an episode of unusual heat at the end of March which awakened the vines early. Early in the morning of April 8th, frost hit part of the vineyard. This cold snap slowed down the vegetative cycle and permitted the ripening process to resume a more normal schedule. In April, May and July, rainfall allowed the vineyards to spend a peaceful summer characterized by temperatures close to seasonal norms.

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.
