Domaine Santa Duc, Grenache Blend, Clos Derriere Vieille, Gigondas 2021
Classic Southern Rhone blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah, from terraced parcels on the slopes overlooking Gigondas at an elevation of 300m. The soils are primarily marl with high chalk/calcareous rock content. This type of geology allows for deep root growth, which is essential for drought resistance and vine health. Certified organic and biodynamic.
Fermented in stainless steel than aged 18 months in a mix of large used barrels and terra-cotta containers, with partial stem inclusion. Delicate and perfumed, this is a very elegant and noble expression of Gigondas, more akin to Chateauneuf in style (but not in price!)
