The wine region of Lirac
Rhône cru on the right bank facing Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Gard): Grenache Noir signature as king red (>=40%) with Syrah and Mourvèdre — deep robe with notes of red and black fruits, garrigue, spices evolving to leather, liquorice, truffle and cocoa. Signature fresh rosés on red fruits and flowers. Mineral racy whites of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne (white fruits, flowers). Only historical Rhône appellation in all 3 colours.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
