The 2022 Domaine Santa Duc Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Pied de Baud is a distinctive Southern Rhône red showing blackberry, dark cherry and ripe plum with garrigue herbs, black pepper and earthy spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with fresh acidity, firm tannins and layers of dark fruit, savoury herbs and gentle spice. The finish is long, dry and persistent, with a subtle mineral edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Rhône drinkers seeking a structured Châteauneuf-du-Pape with savoury depth and cellaring potential. Best enjoyed from 2028–2042. Pair with braised beef cheeks, rosemary-crusted lamb, venison pie or roasted eggplant with lentils and herbs.
