The character of the Rhone 2007 vintage:
Rich in tannins, but elegant and silky. Due to low acidity and high pH values, the wines feel quite sweet on the palate. Maturity and minerality bring them into good balance. […]
Santa Duc Gigondas
Sweet, mouth-filling and elegant, this wine is build on powerful, ripe and smooth tannins. Reliable foundations for long storage and ageing.
Domaine Santa Duc Vacqueyras
This fresh and somehow still a little bumpy wine, distinguishes itself by a rich, fruity and savoury structure. Its footprint and power show quite a bit of grit, but it needs a little time to bring up all its complexity.
