Domaine Duclaux Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Domaine Duclaux is a historic wine estate located in the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape region of the Rhône Valley in France. The estate has been in the Quiot family since the 17th century, specifically dating back to 1642. This specific wine, a 2016 vintage, is produced according to the strict Appellation d'Origine Protégée (AOP) guidelines, which regulate the grape varieties and production methods used in the region.

The wine is estate-bottled ('Mis en bouteille à la propriété'), meaning the entire production process from grape cultivation to bottling takes place on the family's land. The Quiot family remains the ultimate owner and operator of the estate, managing it alongside several other properties in the Rhône Valley and Provence under the 'Famille Quiot' umbrella. This ensures a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship and regional heritage is maintained in every bottle.
