Tasting Note

Fruit driven, with fine herbaceous notes in its youth, it generally undergoes a slow evolution towards more spicy notes after several years’ cellaring. This wine reflects all of their vineyards in Gigondas. Its character is drawn from eight different places, expressed through four Rhone grape varieties, each one of them bringing its personality and complementarity, contributing to the overall picture.

Product Notes

Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas Aux Lieux-Dits is an exquisite French wine hailing from the Rhone region. Distinguished for its gracefully combined Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Clairette grape varieties, it presents a dynamite palate of cherry, raspberry, and rich exotic spices. With an indulgent aroma of black fruits and a sophisticated touch of liquorice, this well-structured wine presents a beautiful balance of fruitiness and tartness. With a powerful backbone, it still manages to maintain a silky texture, resulting in a luxuriously long finish. Pairs splendidly with roasted meats or rich cheeses. Best served once aged to appreciate its full complexity.
