In a few words ...
The LIRAC vineyards face Châteauneuf du Pape, on the other side of the Rhône. As shown in the photo opposite, and according to geologist Georges Truc, the geology is comparable to that of Châteauneuf du Pape soils. The soil consists of quartz terraces (rolled pebbles) and mixed red clay. Alluvial in origin and transported from the Alps several million years ago, these pebbles make up a valuable terrace for the production of great wines.This is a lesser-known appellation with major geological assets. Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Harvest sorted, destemmed and crushed. Vatting for 18 days with punching of the cap. Aged 14 months in concrete vats (70%) and French oak barrels (30%).

A beautiful, dense and expressive elixir

Great value for money. The balance between red fruit aromas and acidity is remarkable. What's more, it goes perfectly with a small cheese platter.

A very expressive nose of blackcurrant and spices. Powerful on the palate. A fine accompaniment to a cheese platter.

Appellation
Lirac
The appellation Lirac is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Alain Jaume and its 19 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..
