About this winery
Domaine Santa Duc was founded in Gigondas 1874 and is now led by 6th generation owner and winemaker, Benjamin Gras. After Benjamin received his diploma of oenology at the University of Bourgogne he spent time at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Bodega Vega-Sicilia learning from some of the wine world's most famous estates. The goal at Santa Duc has always been to produce top-quality fruit from impeccably tended vineyard sites, the style of winemaking has changed with each generation....

Tasting notes
A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah from sixty-year-old vines, the organic fruits showcase flavors from the vines themselves. Woodsy, herbal, light and full of bounce, rather than the more common powerful fruit. Red cherry, raspberry, fennel, dried violets, bay leaves, and an iron rich characteristic from a small portion of clay in the vineyard. Aged in both 3600-liter foudre and 800-liter terracotta amphorae.
