"Modern. Combining wonderfully pure cherry fruit with vanilla and cedar" The Wine Advocate
"Full-bodied, ripe and beautifully textured, it offers a serious mouthful of fruit!" Jeb Dunnuck
The terraced vineyards of alluvial soil and galets roulés (big pebbles!) mirror Châteauneuf’s terraces right across the river.

Description
"Lastly, the 2015 Lirac Plateau des Chenes is the same Grenache-Syrah blend as the 2016, yet offers more Syrah character in its dark fruits, peppery herbs, and earthy/meaty aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, ripe and beautifully textured, it offers a serious mouthful of fruit and is highly recommended. It should keep for 7-8 years.’ Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com
"The 2015 Lirac Plateau des Chênes is a modern, somewhat oaky example of the appellation, but it does combine wonderfully pure cherry fruit with vanilla and cedar, leaving some woody tannins in its wake. Drink this medium to full-bodied blend of Grenache (75%) and Syrah (25%) over the next 5-8 years" Robert Parker's, The Wine Advocate
Why pay for Chateauneuf du Pape when you can get the same quality 'over the fence' for half the price. Lirac shares many similarities to its neighbouring cru Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The terraced vineyards of alluvial soil and galets roulés (big pebbles!) mirror Châteauneuf’s terraces right across the river. Try a bottle today!
