A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, Lirac Les Cigalounes exudes intense, complex aromas of very ripe black fruit and garrigue. Firm but round tannins on the palate. The ideal companion for red meats.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape-based company has been brilliantly taken over by Samuel Montgermont and the Picard family. Relying on its own vineyards (including 12 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and partnerships with some thirty winemakers, it makes wines that are full-bodied, fleshy and expressive, all highly representative of their respective appellations.
