    The wine

    This Lirac red is made with Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then matured for 14 months in concrete vats (70%) or oak barrels (30%). It has an intense purple colour with notes of very ripe, almost liqueur-like, red and dark fruits on the nose. Its full-flavoured and spicy palate culminates in lingering notes of liquorice and pepper. We recommend keeping this wine in the cellar for a few years and decanting it to a carafe before serving.
