2019 Domaine de Longue Toque Gigondas

Ripe black plum, dark cherry, and cassis intermingle with crushed pepper, dried bay leaf, and woodsmoke. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, it delivers dense black fruit backed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a lingering savory finish.

Hand-harvested grapes undergo long, temperature-controlled fermentation in concrete tanks. The Grenache rests in concrete to preserve bright fruit purity, while the Syrah and Mourvèdre age in French oak barrels to build structure and spice.

Ancient limestone cliffs of the Dentelles de Montmirail shelter high-altitude terraced vineyards in Gigondas. Rocky scree and red clay soils force vine roots deep into sub-surface fissures, yielding rich fruit concentration grounded by crushed-stone minerality.
