Santa Duc Gigondas Clos Derrière Vieille 2018Robert Parker Wine Advocate 94 100 A blend of 80% Grenache and 10% each Mourvdre and Syrah, all grown in a limestone rich clos, the 2018 Gigondas Clos Derriere Vieille is floral and resinously herbal, with stemmy notes accenting mixed berries. Medium to full bodied, it's silky and ripe yet vibrant, with ample complexity allied to admirable acid tannin balance. It should drink well for up to a decade.

The 2018 Gigondas Clos Derriere Vieille comes from older vines behind the village, and it shows a more complex, stemmy, old-school style while still possessing purity and elegance that’s the hallmark of this estate today. Lovely notes of wild strawberries, blueberries, and sappy garrigue and pepper all emerge from this more medium to full-bodied, seamless 2018 that has plenty of upfront charm yet should evolve gracefully for 10 to 12 years.

Das Weingut
Der Qualitätsstandard von Domaine Santa Duc gehört zu den höchsten im südlichen Rhônetal. Yves Gras, der legendäre Star von Gigondas, steht seit Jahren unangefochten in vorderster Reihe der Spitzenerzeuger. Sein Gigondas zählt zu den konzentriertesten der Appellation. Auf dem sehr steinigen Terrain mit über 50 Jahre alten Rebstöcken entstehen in Kombination mit einer sehr späten Lese grandiose Weine. Mittlerweile hat der weitgereiste Benjamin Gras die Nachfolge seines Vaters Yves angetreten und vinifiziert Topweine, die zum Allerbesten an der südlichen Rhône gehören und weltweit begehrt sind. Was Benjamin zu leisten imstande ist, spiegeln die traumhaften Bewertungen von nationalen und internationalen Kritikern wider.
