Domaine Duclaux – Refined Syrah Wines from Côte-Rôtie’s Southern Slopes

Located in Tupin-et-Semons, in the southern part of the Côte-Rôtie appellation, Domaine Duclaux is a family estate founded in 1928. Since the late 1990s, brothers David and Benjamin Duclaux, the fourth generation, have run the domaine with passion and precision, establishing it as a respected name in the Northern Rhône.

The vineyard spans about 6 hectares devoted entirely to Syrah, the emblematic grape of the appellation. Planted on steep granite and schist slopes with varied exposures, the vines offer remarkable diversity of expression.

The domaine’s philosophy emphasizes environmentally respectful viticulture and meticulous vineyard work to preserve fruit purity and terroir identity. In the cellar, winemaking is precise and patient, with ageing in barrels and demi-muids that enhance Syrah’s depth while maintaining its natural elegance.

Domaine Duclaux wines are distinguished by their balance, refinement and ageing potential. They combine aromatic intensity, silky textures and layered complexity, producing Côte-Rôtie wines of depth always defined by finesse.

Praised by critics and cherished by enthusiasts, Domaine Duclaux embodies the soul of Côte-Rôtie, where Syrah’s power is expressed with elegance and harmony.
