Product description
En Primeur Lirac Blanc Vin de Madame la Comtesse Montfaucon will be available for delivery or storage once it lands in the UK, usually two years following the en primeur offer.
Located opposite to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Montfaucon’s vineyards lie between the village of Montfaucon, Roquemaure and St Genies de Comolas in the Rhône Valley. Rodolphe de Pins, a former member of the winemaking team at Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe, took over the family estate in 1995 which today spreads over 45 hectares of vineyards. The vines are 40 years old on average and all the vineyards are farmed at low yields (between 25 to 42 hl/ha) and managed following sustainable practices.
Mostly Clairette (with a splash of co-planted Bourboulenc and Grenache Blanc) from a single vineyard plot of 150-year-old old vines! Aged in old oak barrels, this is complex, deep and textured across the palate with white pepper notes. Impressive length on the mineral, refreshing finish. Rodolphe believes that Clairette is the great white grape of the southern Rhone and there is “no equivalent.
