The estate and the wine |
|
|
Xavier Vignon has done it again! As an international expert and leading advisor to the most successful Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, it is no surprise that Xavier Vignon crafts wines of diabolical precision and of phenomenal quality, especially on this 2019 Lirac that has awed the famous American critic. |
|
|
| |
|
The 2019 red Lirac is a grenache and syrah blend, opening on seducing aromas of spices, garrigue and ripe black cherries. It is an intense and concentrated wine, with beautiful perfumes and texture. An incredibly well-made and delicately crafted cuvée at a reasonable price that will pair with a beef chuck with olives or game. Rated 92/100 by Parker. |
