"A blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre, the 2016 Lirac La Ferme Romaine stands out for its aromas of raspberries and vibrant cherries, with hints of vanilla and cedar. Notes of thyme and bay leaf add complexity; this full-bodied wine features supple tannins and a long, velvety finish. It is a superb vintage from one of the appellation’s finest producers.”(Wine Advocate 2018 – Robert Parker)

About the estate:
A leading producer of Tavel and Lirac wines, and also highly regarded for its Châteauneuf and Côtes-du-Rhône wines, this estate—whose origins date back to the late 18th century—has been run by Pascal Lafond since 1990. Its extensive organic vineyard, certified since 2012, now covers 95 hectares spread across four appellations. The next generation is now assured with the arrival of his sons Jean-Baptiste (2014) and François (2019), who hold BTS degrees in viticulture and oenology and have completed internships abroad.
