Domaine Santa Duc is a well-regarded winery based in the southern Rhône Valley of France, specifically in the region of Gigondas. It was founded in 1874 and is known for producing high-quality wines, particularly from the Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellations. The winery is committed to organic and biodynamic farming practices, which they believe allow the expression of terroir and the true character of the grapes to shine through in their wines. Domaine Santa Duc's wines are often praised for their richness, complexity, and aging potential.

Benjamin Gras described the 2021 vintage as "unusual, but good." According to Gras, the frost only impacted lower-lying vineyards, but what followed was a cool, cloudy summer that necessitated seven or eight treatments of the vines, then came 200 millimeters of rain in September.One key development at this family-run estate is preparing to introduce a Gigondas Blanc to the lineup. A portion of the property's highest terrace, located at 350 meters above sea level, has been over-grafted to white varieties (90% Clairette and 10% Bourboulenc). It will be interesting to follow that wine going forward, as Gras already makes a successful white from those varieties in Roaix, fermenting and aging the wine in a mix of demi-muids and amphorae. "It [Clairette] is a floral variety, not a fruity one," said Gras. "I'm a big fan of that."
