DOMAINE SANTA DUC
Domaine Santa Duc is a vineyard located in Gigondas. The estate's vines are planted exclusively on the Les Hautes Garrigues terroir on the Gigondas plateau. With a surface area of 2.8 hectares, this terroir is steeped in history, since the first vines were planted here over six generations ago. The vines, on average 75 years old, are cultivated according to the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture, with Ecocert and Demeter certifications. The main grape varieties are Grenache and Mourvèdre, with partial destemming depending on the vintage and plot. Harvesting is carried out manually, with sorting in the vineyard, followed by a second table sorting. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with fermentation lasting 20 to 30 days. The wines are then aged for 18 months in oak foudres and terracotta jars, before being bottled without fining or filtration. The wines produced in this terroir are renowned for their depth, spice, fleshy tannins and extraordinary longevity. Domaine Santa Duc is a must for lovers of quality wines in Gigondas.
