“A wonderful companion for all your special moments”
A blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Ugni Blanc, this Lirac is a wine of beautiful clarity. Both delicate and expressive, it captivates with its aromas of fresh white fruit, light floral notes, and a touch of citrus that adds a lively sparkle. On the palate, the texture is supple and silky, carried by a lovely natural freshness. The balance between liveliness and roundness creates a sensation of purity and elegance. A subtle saline note underscores the long, harmonious finish, leaving an impression of lightness and precision. A luminous wine, full of finesse, that calls for conviviality and simplicity.

About the estate:
Despite its name, this estate is highly fragmented and encompasses nearly every type of soil found within the appellation. Produced using traditional methods, the red Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines often appear reserved in their youth. They are crafted to reveal their full potential over time. For several vintages now, Thierry Sabon has brought finesse and refinement to the entire range, from the basic Côtes-du-Rhône to the top-tier Châteauneuf-du-Pape. We have been following this estate’s progress for many years. At ten years old, the wines express themselves with grace. At twenty years, they reach a new milestone and reveal their true potential: one then fully appreciates their aromas of truffle, undergrowth, and fruit that seems infused by time. The white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is spirited and distinguished. In good vintages, the estate offers the Cuvée du Papet, a dense and deep wine, built for aging, which often reaches an exceptional level. All the wines show great aging potential.
