This Gigondas is made from old vines in a high altitude, single vineyard site. Quite full and savoury, it has intense black fruits on the palate that display plenty of juiciness, despite the fine tannic structure. Beautifully sculpted, the long finish reveals blueberry hints, with more to come with some additional bottle age.

Domaine Santa Duc

Domaine Santa Duc of the Gras family was founded in 1874 and produce reference point wines from their base in Gigondas, and leading expressions from neighbouring Chateauneuf du Pape. The wines produced here continue to receive wide critical acclaim, a result of innovation and a reputation for producing wines of energy and clarity. Yves Gras pioneered organic farming in the region from 1985, favouring large oak foudre and terracotta amphorae over small oak barrels, whilst dialling down on extraction. Son Benjamin taking on the reins in 2017, creating a new winery and converting to biodynamics. Their Grenache led reds show stunning purity of fruit, and an almost Pinot like finesse, whilst having the stuffing to reward ample cellar time.
