Description

The 2022 Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas Clos des Hospices is a structured Southern Rhône red showing blackberry, dark cherry and plum with garrigue herbs, violet, black pepper and subtle earthy spice.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with fresh acidity, firm tannins and layers of dark fruit, savoury herbs and gentle mineral character. The finish is long, dry and persistent, with excellent structure for further bottle development.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Rhône drinkers seeking a powerful yet balanced Gigondas with savoury complexity. Best enjoyed from 2028–2040. Pair with braised lamb shoulder, venison with rosemary, beef cheeks or Provençal-style lentil and vegetable stew.

About the region

Rhône Valley · Gigondas

The Rhône is really two regions under one name. In the north, between Vienne and Valence, Syrah grows alone on steep granite terraces at Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Joseph, while Viognier makes the perfumed whites of Condrieu. Further south the valley widens and warms, and Grenache leads blends drawn from a long list of permitted varieties at Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. The two halves share a river and little else.
