Description

Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas 'Les Hautes Garrigues' 2015 is a benchmark Southern Rhône red wine that reflects the depth and history of this iconic estate. Planted around 1852 on the deep, stony red clay soils of the Quaternary, the old vines of Grenache and Mourvèdre yield intensely concentrated fruit. The 2015 vintage offers a rich and mature profile with notes of black cherry, liquorice, garrigue, and earthy spice. Full-bodied and beautifully balanced, the wine shows refined tannins and a long, harmonious finish. A powerful and elegant wine with exceptional ageing potential.

*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.
