2022 Château de Montfaucon Lirac

A newer addition to the Montfaucon portfolio, this Lirac fills the gap nicely between the La Côte Côtes-du-Rhône and the Baron Louis Lirac. Made entirely from estate fruit, it captures the brighter side of the region. Rich, ripe red berry fruit leads the way, with strawberry jam, red cherries and even some red flowers for good measure. This is pure pleasure in a glass. It is a more explosive style, reflecting both the ripeness of the vintage and a more ebullient side of vigneron Rudi de Pins' winemaking. Where Baron Louis leans darker, savory and more contemplative, this is about freshness, generosity and immediate appeal.
