Domaine Santa Duc Gigondas Clos Derrière Vieille 2021Region: Rhone Valley, France Appellation: Gigondas Color Style: Red Wine Grapes: Grenache 92 Vinous Like the Aux Lieux Dits and Les Hautes Garrigues, 2021 Gigondas Clos Derrire Vieille, was fermented entirely with whole clusters. At the moment, the resulting stemmy funkiness dominates the aromatic profile. After a few minutes in the glass, delicate orange blossom, redcurant, raspberry, licorice elements paint a more complex picture. 91 93 Robert
