"A flagship wine that majestically represents the whites of the South!"
"The 2024 Lirac Blanc La Reine des Bois is more taut than usual, exuding aromas of spring flowers, white lilac, almonds, and honeysuckle. Medium- to full-bodied, silky, and complex, it is racy and briny, with an enveloping core of fruit and a long, chalky finish. Made from vines planted on rounded pebbles and limestone soils, it is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, and Clairette, with a touch of Marsanne and Roussanne.” (Wine Advocate 2025)

Rated estate (2024 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The estate produces highly expressive wines from the finest vineyards of Vaucluse and Gard. Every effort is made with deep respect for the terroirs, driven by a commitment to crafting wines that live up to their full potential. Madeleine Delorme, alongside her daughter Ambre, continues to work with great care and determination, upholding the spirit of excellence that defines both the estate and this winemaking family. A superb range of salty, full-bodied whites and deep, delicate reds, animated by a refreshing tension and a perfectly balanced structure. The estate is evolving its style toward increasingly refined and precise wines. The fourth star is fast approaching.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
Aroma of white flowers and candied citrus peel. Full-bodied, fresh, and generous on the palate, with good acidity that provides solid structure—the fairly lively acidity gives this wine a well-balanced character.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread across 38 plots and eight municipalities. Following Christophe’s untimely death in 2015, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Ambre took over the reins of the estate. Advocates of low yields, the Delormes produce vintages with disconcerting ease, whether in Tavel—their original stronghold—Lirac, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, or “simple” Côtes-du-Rhône. A must-try.

About the wine:
A hint of Golden Delicious apple on the nose—along with damp hay and chamomile. Attractive fruitiness and moderate acidity. A truly pleasant vibrancy, a bit reserved and tight for now, but it will open up beautifully.
