The 2011 Domaine Santa Duc ‘Aux Lieux-Dits’ delivers aromas of blackberry, mulberry, spices, chocolate, licorice, smoky ash and fresh lavender, which are just some of the nuances that come together in the glass. Full-bodied and well-structured, backed by underlying acidity that carries all the way into the finish. A very solid offering that will be even better after a few years of bottle age. Composed of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault sourced from 8 different localities in Gigondas.
