1998 Domaine Santa Duc Prestige des Hautes Garrigues 0,75 Liter

Domaine Santa Duc Prestige des Hautes Garrigues 1998, produced in the southern Rhône, is a robust Grenache-based blend from a classic Gigondas vintage. Its bouquet reveals notes of blackberry, raspberry, and plum, with hints of garrigue, spice, and earthy minerality, evolving towards notes of leather and licorice with age. The palate is full and structured, with velvety tannins and lively acidity that balance the concentrated fruit. Its stony terroir imparts a distinctive minerality, enhanced by aging in French oak barrels, highlighting Santa Duc's organic winemaking practices. The finish is long and powerful, with excellent aging potential. Perfect to accompany roast lamb, grilled game or hearty stews, this Gigondas is a true collector's gem, reflecting the terroir of the southern Rhône and offering a refined tasting experience to enthusiasts seeking a Rhône wine that is both bold and refined, with depth and character.
