About the Winery

Domaine Santa Duc

Domaine Santa Duc, nestled at the heart of Gigondas in Southern Rhône, France, is synonymous with exceptional winemaking. Established in 1874, this celebrated wine estate has remained a touchstone for lovers of full-bodied, vibrant wines that perfectly express their unique terroir.

From its inception, the prestigious winery has been passed through the hands of six generations, each displaying an unwavering commitment to respecting the land and its precious gifts. It's the combination of dedication, tradition and a little innovative spirit that sets Domaine Santa Duc apart.

Perhaps the estate is best known for its revolutionary approach to vineyard health. In the 1980s, Yves Gras, the incumbent of the winery, transformed the estate's vineyards into a fully organic operation honing in on biodiversity and the natural balance of the vine ecosystem. This decision to shun chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilisers in favour of traditional organic farming methods has had a transformative effect on the quality of the Domaine's produce.

The winery’s portfolio is dominated by reds, with the hero being their incandescent and bold Gigondas wine, crafted predominantly from Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah. These wines are highly-prized for their intensity, depth of flavour, and lengthy ageing potential.

Visitors to the Domaine will bask in its idyllic setting, with kilometres of lush vineyards sprawled under the region's typically dazzling blue skies. A visit to Domaine Santa Duc presents more than just a simple tasting, it is a journey into the heart of southern France winemaking culture and tradition.

Domaine Santa Duc: a winery with deep roots, in both its past and soils, revealing the purest expression of the Rhône Valley in each bottle. Domaine Santa Duc, is more than just a winery - it’s deeply encapsulated into the fabric of Gigondas history.
