Domaine Santa Duc "Les Hautes Garrigues" 2018

This prominent Gigondas estate owns several small parcels in Chateauneuf du Pape, three of which are bottled separately.

96 Points Robert Parker...A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre this vintage, the 2018 Gigondas Les Hautes Garrigues, is more open and approachable than the somewhat dense and closed 2017. Floral hints of garrigue appear on the nose, and the fruit is less concentrated and suppler, making it easier to drink now. Mixed berries mark the full-bodied palate, framed by silky tannins and bright acids, leading into a long, mouthwatering finish.
