"There's a lot of know-how at this illustrious house in Liraco, as demonstrated by this admirable 2022, in which they made the most of a dry vintage by harvesting early in mid-September, followed by ad hoc ageing in vats. Low yields favored a deep, bluish color and fruity, balsamic aromas reminiscent of blackberry syrup, peppermint and juniper berries. Expressive and greedy on the attack, the mid-palate is structured around consistent yet velvety tannins, leaving an irresistible trail of fresh, juicy fruit on the finish. Ideal with roast poultry".

About the wine:
The expertise of this illustrious house in Liraco is evident in this admirable 2022, which makes the most of a dry vintage with an early harvest in mid-September, followed by ad hoc ageing in vats. Low yields favored a deep, bluish color and fruity, balsamic aromas reminiscent of blackberry syrup, peppermint and juniper berries. Expressive and greedy on the attack, the mid-palate is structured around consistent yet velvety tannins, leaving an irresistible trail of fresh, juicy fruit on the finish. Enjoy with roast poultry.
About the domain :
Henri de Lanzac manages an estate of almost 60 ha, including 30 ha of vines in a single block commissioned by Ch. de Ségriès (17th century), acquired in 1994 and cultivated organically. He also manages Clos de l'Hermitage (3.5 ha), owned since 1995 by former racing driver Jean Alesi. Two labels that often feature prominently in the Guide.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 11/12/2024
This Lirac expresses itself in a full-bodied, slightly warm register, with a fleshy, intense and freshly balanced palate of gourmet stewed fruit (plum, blackberry), complemented by earthy, spicy notes. Gentle acidity, great volume and fairly low, almost silky tannins that persist in a sapid finish. A relatively simple wine. Pairs well with characterful cuisine, and is ideal with either gardianne de taureau camarguais or, more simply, bbq-grilled merguez sausages. Score = 3.9.
