Tasting Notes
Aroma
On the nose, aromas of red and black ripe fruit
(kirsch and wild blackberry) are dominant.
Appearance
Intense inky colour.
Palate
The mouth is full, with aromas of blackcurrant
liquor and spice. Tannins are both harmonious and elegant thanks to the
fleshy of the wine. The end display hints of liquorice and vanilla, which
give to the wine length and complexity.
Vinification
Traditional wine-making in stainless still vats. Hand sorted bunches,
crushed and destemmed grapes.
Fermentation temperature : 30°C. 18 days of vatting with pigeages.
Ageing in concrete vats and french oak barrels.
Cellaring Potential
Between 1-8 years.
Region Notes
LIRAC vineyard is facing Chateauneuf du Pape, opposite side of the
Rhône river. As showed by the picture and following geologist George
Truc, soils are almost similar in both side. They are marked by the
violence wrought by the Rhone river. It consists of a layer of marine
molasses of the Miocene period covered by alpine alluvium. The presence
of a great number of rounded stones known as "galets" in the earth is
evidence of the time when the Rhone, then a torrent, tore fragments of
rock from the Alps and deposited them on the plain. LIRAC is one of the
up-coming best area from the southern Rhône valley, as it delivers
outstanding wines.
