Domaine Duclaux is a historic estate of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, producing wines in a traditional style: powerful, elegant, and structured.
Appellation: Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Region: Southern Rhone Valley
Grape Variety: Grenache Blanc 100%
Winemaking: Full pressing of the harvest. Static settling at 12°C. Fermentation and aging entirely in Burgundy oak barrels. Aged on fine lees with bâtonnage for 8–10 months. The wine remains in wood from pressing to bottling.
Tasting Notes: “Rich and dense, with aromas of blanched almonds, sweet apples, pastry spices and some cedar. Medium-bodied with floral notes on the palate and a creamy, generous finish.” From James Suckling
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with roasted chicken with mushrooms, seared scallops in beurre blanc, aged Comté or Roquefort, and creamy truffle pasta.
