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%).

Tasting notes

Appearance

The color is crimson with garnet highlights.

Aroma

On the nose, candied red and black fruit aromas (kirsch, blackcurrant, blackberry) dominate. After aeration, floral notes emerge, with pine resin and violets.

Wine Fruity | Spicy

Taste

Full-bodied, suave and spicy on the palate. Slightly licorice and pepper notes on the finish give this wine surprising length.

Wine Fruité | Long

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.
