Product description
Spread over 45 hectares of vineyards with low yields to create concentrated wines full of character. Sourced from 50 to 90 years old Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Carignan. Partly aged in oak barrels for 18 months. Complex aromas of lavender, wild herbs, dark berry, cherry, leather, cedar and black pepper. Full-bodied with velvety tannins and ample on the palate.
The rich, tannic 2015 Lirac Baron Louis spent a year in barrel, a year in tank and a year in bottle prior to release. It offers up scents of leather, cedar and vanilla, but it balances out the oak with dark fruit notes of cola, plum and spice. It's full-bodied and velvety on the palate, while hints of licorice emerge on the lengthy finish. This wine has clearly emerged as one of the top Liracs.
