91 Points, Jeb Dunnuck"The 2022 Lirac is 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, and 10% each of Syrah and Cinsault that saw a splash of stems and is still resting all in foudre. Ripe black cherries, black licorice, and peppery, savory herb notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, mouth-filling texture, and outstanding length."
Description
60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, 10% Cinsault. Lirac is South West from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, just across the river where the Usseglio’s have an amazing parcel of 40yr od vines. This wine undergoes a temperature controlled fermentation before being aged in a mix of concrete vats and demi muids (600L oak barrels).
The vines are around 40 years old. The grapes are harvested
manually, the harvest is completely destemmed. The fermentation is followed by thermoregulation, it lasts 20 to 30 days. The wines remain in concrete tanks and ½ muids
over a period of 12 months. The wine presents aromas of spices, black fruits, cherries and liquorice. The tannins are dense, the palate is fresh and elegant. It presents notes of jam and black cherries.
