BENJAMIN ET DAVID DUCLAUX
Benjamin et David Duclaux is a highly respected family-owned winery located in Côte-Rôtie, one of the Northern Rhône Valley’s most prestigious appellations. Representing a new generation of Rhône winemakers, brothers Benjamin and David Duclaux continue a long family tradition of producing refined and terroir-driven wines from some of the region’s steep granite hillside vineyards.
Based in Tupin-et-Semons, the estate farms vineyard parcels across renowned Côte-Rôtie sites, where dramatic slopes, granite soils, and a continental climate create ideal conditions for growing Syrah. Sustainable vineyard practices and meticulous attention to detail allow the brothers to showcase the unique character of each vineyard site while preserving the authenticity of the appellation.
Benjamin et David Duclaux are particularly known for elegant and expressive Côte-Rôtie wines that emphasise finesse over power. The wines typically display aromas of blackberry, raspberry, violet, black olive, cracked pepper, smoked meat, and spice, supported by fine tannins, freshness, and remarkable aging potential. Small proportions of Viognier may be co-fermented with Syrah in the traditional Côte-Rôtie style, adding aromatic lift and complexity.
The winemaking philosophy focuses on minimal intervention and respect for terroir, producing wines that are balanced, precise, and reflective of the Northern Rhône’s distinctive identity. Their wines have become increasingly sought after by collectors and Rhône enthusiasts worldwide.
As one of Côte-Rôtie’s rising benchmark producers, Benjamin et David Duclaux represent the modern face of traditional Rhône winemaking, crafting wines of elegance, purity, and longevity.
