Santa Duc Gigondas Aux Lieux Dits 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Southern Rhône
R725
‘Brilliant ruby. Intensely perfumed, mineral- and spice-driven aromas of ripe red and blue fruit and potpourri show sharp definition; suggestions of woodsmoke and incense build in the glass. Shows outstanding depth as well as energy on the palate, offering powerful raspberry, kirsch and floral pastille flavors and a strong note of exotic spices. It finishes with an alluring sweetness and harmonious tannins that lend shape to a wonderfully long, spice- and floral-accented finish.’ – Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 95-96/100
‘This has seamless integration to the rooibos tea, plum cake and crushed cherry flavors, which are all cut through with a smoldering iron underpinning. Plush and silky on the palate, with supple tannins providing the gentle framework to keep this graceful. Closes out with a meaty, mesquite smoke note. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Drink now through 2028.’ – James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com, 92/100

| Producer information | Founded in 1874, Domaine Santa Duc is one of the top producers in the Gigondas appellation. As Robert Parker writes, ‘For more than a decade, Domaine Santa Duc has been one of the jewels of Gigondas.’ Since its creation, six generations have succeeded each other at Domaine Santa Duc, each adding their own contribution to the wines. Today Benjamin Gras manages the domaine after taking over from his father, Yves Gras. The domaine focuses on Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsaut and they follow biodynamic and organic farming practices. |
