Information
About the producer

Domaine Santa Duc enjoys a picturesque and idyllic setting at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Located in the Gigondas appellation, the Provence vineyard of Domaine Santa Duc has been in the same family for 5 generations. Their philosophy boils down to one word: respect. Respect for the vines they cultivate, respect for the biodiversity and respect for the soil. The domaine thus follows organic and biodynamic methods. The garpes are picked by hand then destemmed entirely or partially depending on the terroir. Maceration is slow and cold so as to give the wines fine tannins and aromatic complexity. Only native yeasts are used during fermentation and the wines are matured on fine lees and bottled unfiltered. As the great Robert Parker said: “Santa Duc combines the muscle, richness and fire of a classic Giogondas with a degree of elegance and purity that many wines of this appellation lack”.

About the wine

The vines grown to make this wine are mainly found in Roaix. Grenache is the main grape variety, followed by Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet. Maceration is gentle in order to retain the fruit and its freshness. Maturation takes place on fine lees in vats. It has an intense colour and its fruity nose suggests much of the flavour to follow. The result is balanced and incredibly easy to drink.
