This consistently reliable family domaine is now in the hands of the fifth generation – siblings Fabien and Magali Leperchois – whose 50ha of organic vineyards were certified biodynamic in 2009. This Grenache-dominant GSM has vibrantly pure and juicy red berry fruits, soft anise and wild herb tones with textured tannins and a long savoury finish. Lifted, pretty and delicious.

The Demeter-certified 2017 Lirac is a blend of 50% Grenache and 25% each Mourvèdre and Syrah. It offers delicious, fruit-forward drinking yet looks to have the stuffing to last 5-6 years. Pretty cherry and garrigue notes add hints of blueberry and citrus in this medium to full-bodied, supple-textured wine that turns silky on the long, fruit-driven finish.
