With great intensity, the 2021 Red Lirac La Reine des Bois is a beautifully concentrated wine, built around ripe, complex layers of black fruit and spice. The perfectly integrated aging elevates the wine, allowing each grape variety—Grenache, Syrah, and a hint of Mourvèdre—to shine. Generous and dense, this is a serious yet charming red with smooth, well-rounded tannins. A great southern red with the potential to age for 10 years. An essential from the region, rated 94/100 by the Selection Committee. |
