Producer: Domaine de Santa Duc.
Area: Chateauneuf du Pape
A historic reference in the Roine sud which is now taking on a new dimension with the generational change at the hands of Benjamin Gras. After his time at Domaine de la Romané Conti (Burgundy) and Vega Sicilia (Ridbera del Duer), he returns to the family winery to revolutionise the style of the house and position the wines at the top level.
Wines that have evolved towards a finer, more delicate part, with more nuances and complexity, light notes of undergrowth.
