Domaine du Joncier Lirac le Classique 2015

This very impressive Lirac Rouge is a testament to the Grenache grape being the ideal vessel for delivering the stoniness of the vineyard straight to the bottle.

The wines of Lirac express a sun-imbued generosity in the form of potent dark aromas of dark fruit, with matching concentration on the palate that makes them ideal companions to roast meats, ratatouille, and other richly flavored Mediterranean dishes. Joncier’s Lirac, a blend of Syrah with Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Carignan, offers chewy tannins and penetrating flavors that recall a hot summer afternoon in beautiful southern France.
