2010 Gigondas, Tradition, Domaine Santa Duc

Gigondas, Tradition, Domaine Santa Duc
The 2010 Tradition is a classic blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah and 5% Cinsault. . A red and black berried fruit core, courtesy of the Grenache, is tempered by Syrah elegance and Mourvèdre power. A Southern Belle to be sure, manicured to a degree, but with a raw energy driving it forward.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

The Duke of Gigondas,Yves Gras, is a charismatic and eloquent champion for these two great villages, easing them out of the shadow of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and into the light of a recognition which is far removed from an outdated reputation for rustic tannins and indulgent alcohol levels. The recognition garnered by the estate is evidenced by a most impressive new tasting room, complete with furniture which would not be out-of-place in a Parisian salon. Fame has its cost however; at the end of our visit a huge lorry, collecting wine to go to Holland, crushed a hundred year-old olive tree, much to the chagrin of M Gras and the eldery M Gras père, who rushed out to castigate the driver with some very colourful patois.
