About this Item

Gigondas, 2007
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

At the foot of the “Dentelles de Montmirail”. In 1874, The first buildings are constructed. Six generations succeed each other at Domaine Santa Duc, each adding their own contribution to its development. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault; the Gras family are committed to bringing out the best in these noble grapes. Massal selections, biodynamics, whole cluster vinification, fermentation with wild yeasts, minimum intervention, non-filtered wines…. Parcel by parcel, Benjamin Gras maintains this meticulous approach at the head of the estate, engaging this heritage and these skills in the service of two immense terroirs of the southern Rhone Valley – Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Critics Ratings

‘Garrigue, olive, roasted meats, lavender and tons of sweet dark fruits emerge from the 2007 Gigondas, and this bottle was slightly more reserved and tight than one tasted at the domaine just a few months ago. Nevertheless, it's a gorgeous Gigondas that has another decade or more of longevity. Drink 2010 - 2027.’ – Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Feb 2017)

‘Very rich and round on the nose – comfortable and confident. Lots of dryness on the finish but masses of fruit before then too. Not a bad buy! Very long and complete.’ – Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17-/20 (Dec 2008)
