2023 Domaine Santa Duc, Cotes du Rhone, Les Quatre Terres

The Domaine Santa Duc Côtes du Rhône Les Quatre Terres blends Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cinsault sourced from four villages—Vacqueyras, Rasteau, Roaix, and Séguret—each contributing its own layer of character from sandy, clay-limestone, and red limestone soils. Sixth-generation vigneron Benjamin Gras guides the estate with a biodynamic approach and a light hand in the cellar, aging the wine in large foudres and terracotta amphorae to preserve purity and texture. The result is a vibrant, expressive Côtes du Rhône that highlights both the diversity of its origins and the estate’s longstanding commitment to balance and finesse.
