Terroir

The appellation area is situated on the right bank of the Rhone River, between Orange and Avignon, in the village of Roquemaure, near Tavel. The property is located on a plateau covered with large rounded stones.

Vinification

All grapes are hand picked, which enables to select the best grapes. This is a major point in the quality of our wines. After complete de-stemming, the grapes are macerated and punched down during two to three weeks to ensure maximum extraction of tannins and colour. Once the malolactic fermentation is completed, a third of the volume is brought up in Burgundian barrels of 228 litres; the other part is kept in vats. Then, we make a single assemblage, which will be bottled at the Estate about 18 months after the harvest. Once the wine is in the bottle, they remain for at least four in our cellars before being shipped.

Tasting Notes

Our red Lirac can be enjoyed young for their red and black fruits dominant note, their voluptuous, spicy and delicately toasted character. They reach their plenitude on the third year. Their aging potential is 3 to 7 years.

Food Pairing

Ideally pairs with red meats (rib roast) and matured cow cheeses (camembert, Saint Nectaire).
