Un vin de très belle facture, peut-être oublié quelques années.

Les Vignerons de Tavel & Lirac
Les Vignerons de Tavel & Lirac is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 2 wines available to purchase, including the wine Cuvée Jean XXII 2016.
Appellation
Lirac
The appellation Lirac is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Les Vignerons de Tavel & Lirac and its 2 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
