A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, the Lirac Les Cigalounes offers intense and complex aromas of very ripe black fruits and garrigue. On the palate, the tannins are firm yet round. The perfect accompaniment to red meats.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2019 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to expectations for its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape-based winery has been brilliantly revived by Samuel Montgermont and the Picard family. Drawing on its own vineyards (including 12 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and partnerships with some thirty winemakers, it produces very consistent, full-bodied, and expressive wines, all of which are highly representative of their respective appellations.
