Clos du Mont-Olivet - Lirac Rouge (2020)
Lirac, France
About this Wine
About the Winemaker
The village of Lirac sits on the "rive droite," or right banks of the Rhone river, due west from Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Savvy winemakers today are indeed looking west, rediscovering these old-vine vineyards and realizing that quality here is similar, if not equal, to those plots under the shadow of the papal ruins in Chateauneuf! A bold blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, this savory red will give many a Chateauneuf a run for its money.
About the Wine
This noble Lirac bursts from the glass with blackberry and currant fruits, graphite, charred meats, and peppery herbs. A sensational wine that is balanced and silken, with a gloriously supple finish.
Pairs Well With...
Pairs well with Lamb, Beef, Venison, and Meaty Stews.
