"Lirac Cuvée De La Reine Des Bois 2022 is 40% Syrah and the rest equal parts Grenache and Mourvèdre. This exceptional wine blends red and black fruit aromas with peppery notes of garrigue, flowers, melted licorice and graphite. Of rare purity and precision, it is medium to full-bodied, with a supple, complex palate, fine tannins and a beautiful finish." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
The domaine offers expressive wines from the finest crus of the Vaucluse and Gard regions. Everything is done with the utmost respect for the terroirs, with the determination to produce wines worthy of their potential. Madeleine Delorme, accompanied by her daughter Ambre, carry on with great care and determination in the spirit of excellence that is the hallmark of the domaine and this winegrowing family. A superb range of saline, fleshy whites and deep, delicate reds, driven by thirst-quenching tension and balance. The domaine's style is increasingly racy and precise. The fourth star is fast approaching.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread over 38 parcels and eight communes. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Ambre took over the reins of the estate. A firm believer in low yields, the Delorme family is equally at home with tavel, lirac, châteauneuf-du-pape and "simple" côtes-du-rhône. Not to be missed.

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

About the wine:
A seductive, serious and textured blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The nose expresses notes of sweet cherries, roasted meat, black plums, baking spices and a touch of cocoa powder. Full-bodied, with fine tannins. Dense and harmonious, with a concentrated finish of excellent length. Made from Demeter-certified biodynamically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring.
