About this product
Santa Duc's most concentrated expression, from the oldest Grenache vines on the highest Gigondas limestone terraces. Extraordinarily dense dark fruit, black olive, garrigue, and leather with the structure to age 15+ years — one of the southern Rhône's great wines.

Southern French goat cheese aged and strong-flavoured is the local companion for Gigondas's most concentrated expression; truffle deepens the earthy resonance while walnut adds bitter-savour depth.

The wine's old-vine power and olive character find a natural home with braised pork cheeks; black olives create a direct flavour bridge while rosemary polenta grounds the pairing in the southern Rhône's own landscape.
