What the Critics say
The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Saintes Vierges is the most flattering of Santa Duc's current releases, offering lushness and generosity on the palate, notes of cherries and licorice, creamy-supple tannins and a mouthwatering finish. It's a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise.
95 points | Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate
The first single vineyard the estate settled in the appellation of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The old Grenache vines, along with Mourvèdre and Counoise, have a penchant for the finesse and lightness of these sandy soils situated in the southwester part of the appellation. Hand picked grapes undergo very stringent sorting in the winery before a short and soft maceration. The wine is then put into bigs casks and terracotta jars before bottling.
