When to drink it? Drink between 2024 and 2044. This new vintage, Clos des Hospices 2022, is made from Grenache Noir grapes grown in the Derrière Vieille vineyard, where double grafting with white grape varieties was carried out. It reveals a slightly reductive yet elegant bouquet, with aromas of black cherry, violet, pepper, and floral notes. The palate, beautifully ample, is both elegant and juicy, with impressive depth, mid-palate tension, and fine tannins that linger into a long, ethereal finish, enhanced by a subtle chalky note at the very end. "Among the most structured Gigondas in the Benjamin Gras range, it boasts remarkable aging potential." Yohan Castaing
The wine:
The Gigondas Clos des Hospices from Domaine Santa Duc is an iconic wine from a spectacular terroir located at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. This historic vineyard, enclosed by walls and facing due south, rests on limestone and marl soils that bring freshness and depth to the blend, which is dominated by Grenache. True to the estate's philosophy, the winemaking prioritizes the elegance of the fruit and the pure expression of the terroir, with precise and minimal-intervention aging.
The wine reveals superb aromatic intensity, blending ripe black fruit, garrigue, pepper, licorice, and delicate floral notes. The palate is distinguished by its velvety texture, controlled concentration, and mineral tension that extends the finish with great refinement. A great Gigondas for aging, both powerful, Refined and remarkably balanced.
