Yves Gras of Domaine Santa Duc is a legendary producer of Gigondas, and has bottled for us this old-vines cuvée of Côtes du Rhône. He lives in a section of Gigondas known as the garrigue. Read More...
The garrigue is the arid, rocky section of vineyards that run north and south mid-slope between the Ouvéze and the Rhône Rivers. The roasted, dry soils are decomposed rock and the area is characterized by wild herbs, sage and cedar.
The Vieilles Vignes is a blend of fruit from Gigondas’ neighboring villages of Vacqueyras (25%), Rasteau (25%), Seguret (25%) and Rouaix (25%). This wine is technically a Côtes du Rhône Villages, as it comes from the best designated villages in the appellation.

Winemaker Aaron Pott (Newton, Château Troplong-Mondot, Château La Tour Figeac, Beringer, Quintessa, Pott Wine) is back with a beautiful Côtes du Rhône that will pair perfectly with Read More...
summer fare, warm weather and a panoply of outdoor gatherings and scenarios. It's a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, from a selection of 10 different vineyards within the Southern Rhône.
On the nose, soft, bright fruits dominate, with red plum, black cherry and strawberry scents in the fore; there is a layer of white pepper and Provençal herbs that makes their presence known, uplifting and supporting the sweet fruit with their woodsy, earthy essence, keeping everything balanced. The palate leads with sweet, ripe fruit as the nose does, in this case ripe cherry fruit and a touch of cherry vanilla leading to a hint of light caramel and mixed stone fruits. The tannins are very soft but definitely present as earthy spice sidles in around the fruit, lending, again, balance and harmony to the wine. This is a complete wine and drinks great right now-- your new summer red? Yes, please!
“I particularly loved: the… cheerful Côtes du Rhône… Made from old-vine Grenache (and a bit of Syrah), the wine was ripe, juicy and delicious. Easy to drink.” — Lettie Teague, The Wall Street Journal, April 7, 2012
Winemaker Aaron Pott - "Strawberries, cherry, red currants, plum, fig, violets, caramel, coffee, tar, cocoa and wet stone in an incredibly vibrant nose. Cherry, wild strawberry, caramel and peach in a bold attack with medium density. Soft and super supple finish with density, stone fruits linger with persistence. This wine is tasting great! It is refreshing, supple and juicy."
