A blend of Grenache and Syrah ripened under the sun of the southern Rhône Valley on the famous rounded pebbles that make Châteauneuf-du-Pape great, the Lirac La Dame Rousse, from an exceptional 2007 vintage, opens with aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant, and violet, and offers a full, ample, and rich palate with refined concentration, finishing with a beautiful length. A delicious bottle!

Bettane & Desseauve
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from 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, in Lirac, in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, or in “simple” Côtes-du-Rhône. A must-try.
