Le Petit Duc is an exceptional cuvée made exclusively from cool vintages. A deep red wine with great aromatic freshness and elegance. A very original Pic Saint-Loup on the palate, revealing a fine and delicate expression of Grenache... Perfect with a nice piece of red meat, for example.

About the estate:

Located north of the Pic Saint-Loup appellation, this estate consists of a large south-west facing hillside plot on limestone scree, planted mainly with Grenache and Syrah. This is the Foulaquier terroir itself, which is joined by the more loamy Tonillières terroir, facing north-east. This adventure, which began in 1998, is led by Pierre Jequier, a former architect, and Blandine Chauchat, a former parliamentary official. These passionate winemakers have restructured the estate, which has very ancient origins, by steering it towards organic and then biodynamic certification. After a few minor adjustments, they now offer a renewed range of healthy, delicious and fragrant wines, most of which are aged in a reductive environment.
