2019 Lirac, Domaine Giraud
Dry | Red | Still | 15%
This Lirac is so juicy and vibrant. Marie describes the vineyard they own here as being 45-minutes-by-tractor away from the domaine's cellars on the other side of the Rhône river in Châteauneuf. It's the only form of transport she uses to make the journey, so the only measure she can give. The 60 year old vines grown in sandy soils produce a bright, fresh, aromatic red. It offers many of the qualities you'd look for in a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and, with its superb value, makes it a brilliant everyday red.
Ready: 2021 - 2026
