Gabriel
Meffre was born in a wine grower family, but no one could foresee that he -
when he founded a negociantfirm in 1936 - would become the owner of the
biggest amount of hectares of AOC-vines in France - more than 900 ha -
before his disease in 1987.
The
negociant firm still uses the name Gabriel Meffre and has it's
headquarter and cellars in Gigondas.
In 1998 the
company went public, and
everyone could buy shares
In 1999 the compagny bought Domaine
de Longue Toque and the own vineyards. Formally owned vineyards use this
domain's name.

Toque covers 27 ha. 18 ha of Gigondas, 7 ha of Vacqueyras and 2 ha
of Cotes du Rhone Village Plan de Dieu,
