Comprising of the estate's oldest vines, situated on the plateau of Gigondas, and the 'lieu-dit' (named place) of Les Hautes Garrigues. Here, alternating ice ages and periods of heat caused large quantities of scree to be transported from the Dentelles de Montmirail as far as the plain, forming a colluvial fan known as the Cône de la Font des Papes. In the heart of this geological formation, Les Hautes Garrigues parcel sits on sandy soil rich in red clay and coarse gravel.
Typically, equal parts Grenache and Mourvèdre of average age 75 years. Blueberries, red berry compote and black plum and dried herbs are a signature of this wine, with profound structure and licorice like spice.
As with all the Santa Duc reds, the wine is meticulously extracted and matured in Austrian oak foudre and amphora to retain balance and a core of freshness. Whilst structured, the wine yields an inner vitality and refinement. Beautifully judged.
Biodynamically certified.
