Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas 'Aux Lieux Dits' 2022

Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas 'Aux Lieux Dits' is the Gigondas Domaine Santa Duc assembles from eight named parcels spread right across the appellation.

Les Hautes Garrigues, Les Carbonnières, Les Rocassières, Les Routes, Santa Duc, Les Pailleroudas, Goujard and Plane each bring something different, from red clay and coarse gravel high on the slope to grey pebbles on the old river terraces and blue Pliocene marl at the bottom. Forty-year-old vines are farmed to Ecocert organic and Demeter biodynamic standards; fruit is partly destemmed and moved by gravity, ferments for three to four weeks, then settles for eighteen months in foudre and amphora before an unfined, unfiltered bottling.

Young, it leans on fresh red and black fruit with a fine herbal note, gathering incense and exotic spice with cellar time, and the tannins are well knit through a full-bodied frame. Give it 16-18°C and an hour in a decanter, then serve with lamb backstrap, ratatouille or a spiced eggplant stew.

*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur. If you are after a specific vintage, please contact us prior to ordering.
