CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Le Pied De Baud Domaine Santa Duc 2020
Fabulous nose of red fruits, summer flowers and licorice. The very complex interplay of huge fine tannins and richness reminds me of Grand Cru Burgundy, but this has a southerly personality. Great velvety finish that goes on and on. Doesn't want to stop. 80% grenache, 10% mourvedre and 10% cinsault. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
GIGONDAS Les Hautes Garrigues Domaine Santa Duc 2020
My Christmas wine this year will be the Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas Les Hautes Garrigues 2020. It is a bottle I have kept in the cellar for over a year now, since I bought it while waiting for the right occasion. This wine is robust and intense, so a little aging is often beneficial to achieve greater harmony and integration. It is a complex wine made from 50 percent mourvedre and 50 percent grenache from old vines, aged in large casks and clay amphorae, mostly whole-bunch fermented, and biodynamically grown. I tasted it on another occasion last year, and I can imagine how it will have evolved by now. It will pair perfectly with the truffled venison stew I will be cooking for Christmas lunch. Harmony through complexity and a touch of patience. Merry Christmas! Kevin Davy, Tasting Manager James Suckling.com's staff Christmas picks.
