Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas Aux Lieux-Dits 1.5L MAGNUM 2022

Aux Lieux-Dits in 1.5L format carries this multi-parcel Gigondas into a bottle built for the long haul.

Eight sites around the appellation feed the blend, their soils running from gravelly red clay on the heights through sandy clay mid-slope to grey marl below, and the vines average four decades. Certification is Ecocert for organic growing and Demeter for biodynamics; hand-picked fruit is partially whole-bunch, fermented slowly in tank and matured a year and a half in Austrian oak foudres and clay amphorae, then bottled without fining or filtration.

Grenache leads with dark cherry and raspberry, Mourvèdre and Syrah adding iron, thyme and black pepper, while the big bottle keeps everything tight and slow-moving. Decant well ahead, serve at 16-18°C, and bring it out for a leg of lamb, game pie or a table of grilled meats.
