They produce wine in their home of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but also in Gigondas, Vacqueyras and the Côtes du Rhône appellations.

Critics Ratings
Gabriel Meffre Gigondas Domaine de Longue Toque ‘Hommage à Gabriel Meffre’ 2001
‘The 2001 Domaine de Longue Toque Gigondas Hommage a Gabriel Meffre exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color in addition to a sumptuous bouquet of lavender, balsam wood, pepper, black currants, and black raspberries. Pure and rich, with an underlying minerality as well as noticeable new oak, it will have a longer window of drinkability than the 2000.’ - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Feb 2004)
