Domaine Durand is a family-owned estate run by brothers Eric and Joel Durand since 1991. The estate is comprised of 20 hectares of Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier vines spread out over the appellations of Cornas, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray and IGP des Collines Rhodanienes. Eric and Joel are firm believers that in order to make great wine, you must have great grapes, and to have great grapes, you must have impeccable vineyards. The brothers work incredibly hard in their different parcels, not only managing the plants, but also maintaining and rebuilding the terraces on which their vines are planted. On these predominantly granitic slopes, and in the hands of these two talented brothers, the noble grapes they work with find fantastic expression.
The brother's Saint-Péray is a blend of 50% Marsanne and 50% Roussane grown in clay and limestone soils. The wine pours a mid-gold color and exhibits great freshness both on the nose and palate. Flavors of apricot and ripe stone fruits balance with orange citrus to create a dynamic interplay of richness and zing. The palate is light with excellent flavor intensity, leading into a long, elegant finish. Enjoy with monkfish with caper butter or coconut poached black bass.
