The 2022 Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas Aux Lieux-Dits is a distinctive Gigondas red from the Southern Rhône, blending Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault across eight vineyard sites. The nose shows black cherry, blackberry and plum with garrigue herbs, liquorice, violet and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and finely structured, with lively acidity, ripe tannins and layers of dark fruit, savoury herbs and subtle mineral character. The wine is aged for 18 months in large oak foudres and terracotta jars, helping retain freshness and texture.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Rhône drinkers seeking a structured, savoury Gigondas with strong cellaring potential. Best enjoyed from 2027–2035. Pair with slow-roasted lamb shoulder, beef daube, venison with rosemary or roasted eggplant with lentils.
