A Selection Committee favorite, rated 93/100, the 2022 White Lirac La Reine des Bois perfectly captures the essence of the southern Rhône Valley. White peach and delicate floral notes shine through in this fresh, crystalline, and well-balanced wine. Its clean, refined structure, lifted by vibrant freshness, is enhanced by the presence of Clairette, with lovely mineral bitterness on the finish. This is a gastronomic wine, ideal for pairing with freshwater fish, goat cheese, or even as an aperitif—a true testament to the quality of its aging.
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.
