Le Petit Duc is an exceptional cuvée produced exclusively from cool vintages. A deep red wine with great aromatic freshness and plenty of elegance. A very original Pic Saint-Loup on the palate, revealing a refined and delicate expression of Grenache… Best enjoyed with a fine cut of red meat, for example.

About the estate:
Located north of the Pic Saint-Loup appellation, this estate consists of a large southwestern-facing hillside plot on limestone scree, planted primarily with Grenache and Syrah. This is the Foulaquier terroir proper, which is joined within the estate by the more loamy, northeastern-facing terroir of Les Tonillières. This venture, which began in 1998, is led by the couple Pierre Jequier, a former architect, and Blandine Chauchat, a former parliamentary aide. These passionate winemakers have restructured the estate—which has very ancient origins—guiding it toward certification in organic and then biodynamic farming. After a few minor adjustments, they now present a renewed range of healthy, delicious, and aromatic wines, most of which are aged in a reductive environment.
