“A juicy nose of black fruit and spices. The profile is rich and sunny without being overcooked or mushy. Wild berries and spices are prominent. On the palate, the wine displays high-quality texture and considerable body; this opulent wine borders on being unbalanced. It’s good, but massive.” (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Wine rated (2025 guide) 90/100
Rated estate (2027 guide): 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)
About the wine:
A juicy nose of black fruit and spices. The profile is rich and sunny without being overcooked or mushy. Wild berries and spices are prominent. On the palate, the wine displays high-quality texture and considerable body; this opulent wine borders on being unbalanced. It’s good, but massive.
About the estate:
Despite its name, this highly fragmented estate encompasses nearly every type of soil found within the appellation. Produced using traditional methods, Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds are crafted to reveal their character over time: at ten years, they express themselves with grace; at twenty years, they reach their true potential—truffle, forest floor, and fruit matured by time. The white Châteauneuf-du-Pape, spirited and distinguished, also deserves attention. When the vintage permits, La Cuvée du Papet—dense and deep—often reaches exceptional heights.
Wine Spectator
Wine rated (2025 guide) 90/100 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
An intriguing and fresh red wine, offering a sensual blend of raspberry, bergamot, and warm spices, interwoven with notes of toasted lavender and mesquite smoke. The tannins from rooibos tea provide a lovely cohesion throughout the finish, which is characterized by a fresh, mineral quality. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. Enjoy now.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on May 11, 2025
In addition to its vinous character and full-bodied texture, this Lirac is full-bodied, lively, and boasts a beautiful richness of tannins, dominated by perfectly ripe stone fruits and abundant spice, with notes of Sichuan pepper that add a touch of freshness and temper the power characteristic of this vintage. There are subtle menthol notes on the finish. Wild boar stew and charcoal-grilled duck pair perfectly with this full-personality cuvée, which will delight lovers of robust and highly expressive southern wines. Rating = 3.9.
