    The wine

    One of the domain’s finest cuvées, made from a single hectare of vines. In Pied de Baud, old Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre vines are grown in complantation. The soils of red clay and pebbles are typical of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The harvests are undertaken by hand to preserve the integrity of the fruit, before a meticulous sorting process. Maceration us short and gentle with light stirring. The wine has an intensely crimson hue and the nose wanes between fruits and spices. It is perfectly balanced, though the tannins will need further years in the cellar to reveal their full potential. The result is superb.

    Information about domain Santa Duc

    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”.
