Order wine : Châteauneuf du pape 2022 Les Saintes Vierges - Domaine Santa Duc
97/100 Suckling
Great red fruit aromas, but also wet earth and tar. Rich, concentrated and very suave on the full-bodied palate, this Chateauneuf has extremely fine tannins and terrific balance. Extremely long, velvety finish with great spicy complexity. A vineyard on sandy soil planted mainly with grenache plus small amounts of mourvedre and counoise. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink from release.
Varieties: 90% Grenache, 9% Mourvèdre, 1% Counoise.
Vinification : Hand picked with a very selective sorting, short and soft maceration. Soft punching-down.
Ageing : In big casks and terracotta jars during 18 months.
Terroir : Brown to light brown limestone from Miocene «safre» (marly sand).
