Dark red colour; the bouquet is starting to emerge, shows a low-key blackberry fruit, a mingle of herbs, a vegetal touch. The palate comes with soft richness, is already opening up, has a late peppery note, the tannins still undercooked, so go for this from 2+ years more. It’s workmanlike Lirac, has vintage restraint, not a lot of structure, is correct, even if that means it has the problem of technical dullness. 2030-32.
70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre totally de-stemmed with ferment up to 3 weeks and aged 2/3 in tank and 1/3 in barrel for 18 months before assembling and bottling and ageing another 4 months under cork before sale. These vineyards were purchased in 1997.
