Presentation
The Duclaux family is a very old family from Châteauneuf-du-Pape whose last descendant, Emmeline, was the godmother of Florence. Died in 2001 and without continuity, Florence and Jean-Baptiste now take care of the estate.
In gratitude to Emmeline, and to give continuity to this line of winegrowers which only lasts in memory, we have chosen to offer "Les Duclaux" to broaden the range produced and the estate.

Location
Built on a sandy hill which gave it its name, this typically Provençal village is home to narrow streets and strange staircases with uneven steps.
Sablet acquired its letters of nobility, Côtes du Rhône Villages communal, in 1974.
The Dentelles de Montmirail, at the foot of which the village is located, protect the 300 hectares of vines covered by this appellation.
