The Lirac Cuvée De La Reine Des Bois 2022 is composed of 40% Syrah and the remainder equally divided between Grenache and Mourvèdre. It is an exceptional wine that blends aromas of red and black fruits with peppery notes of garrigue, flowers, melted licorice, and graphite. With rare purity and precision, it is medium-bodied to full-bodied, with a supple and complex palate, fine tannins, and a beautiful finish." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2024 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
The estate offers expressive wines from the finest vineyards in Vaucluse and Gard. Everything is done with the utmost respect for the terroirs, with the aim of producing wines that live up to their potential. Madeleine Delorme, accompanied by her daughter Ambre, continues to work with great care and determination in the spirit of excellence that characterizes the estate and this winegrowing family. A superb range of salty, full-bodied whites and deep, delicate reds, enlivened by a thirst-quenching tension and a perfectly balanced structure. The estate is moving towards increasingly racy and precise wines. The fourth star is fast approaching.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the estate:
Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread over 38 plots and eight communes. 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. Unmissable.

About wine:
Nose of crushed wild berries and blackberries. Generous on the palate with a richness that coats the mouth, good concentration of black fruit and a velvety core. Energetic and pure finish.

About wine:
An appealing, serious, and textured blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The nose reveals notes of sweet cherries, roasted meat, black plums, baking spices and a hint of cocoa powder. It is full-bodied with fine tannins. Dense and harmonious, with a concentrated finish of excellent length. Made from biodynamically grown grapes certified by Demeter. Ready to drink or cellar.
