"The elegant signature of Domaines Lorgeril"
“This indulgent 2022 blend features equal parts Grenache Noir and Syrah, taking its time to unfold notes of red fruit against a backdrop of spices and garrigue. The fruit really comes into its own on a charming palate, velvety on the attack, full-bodied, and enlivened on the finish by slightly tight tannins that will quickly soften with cellaring or when paired with a dish—such as a rack of lamb with herbs, for example.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

About the wine:
On the nose, this wine reveals dark, rustic aromas of dried meat, cherry, and licorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with flavors of cooked fruit, tar, and anise.
