The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Rhône - Lirac
Lirac lies on the western side of the Rhône River, just across from Châteauneuf du Pape. So if you're looking for an upmarket Rhône red and want to be savvy with your money, then this is the wine for you! Just like its more famous neighbour this wine is comprised from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Notes of violets and plums are on the nose, with wet stone minerality and lots of tapenade and fennel. The palate is rich but impeccably balanced, with a fine thread of acidity that lasts to the very finish. This is a very long, very complex red.

Francois and Marie Giraud
Francois and Marie Giraud are a brother and sister team who are relative newcomers to winemaking in comparison to many of their neighbours. Their family have always lived in the Rhône, but were distillers rather than winemakers. It was their parents who got hold of some vines in 1974 and changed their family's trajectory, and in 1998 Francois and Marie took over the Domain. They focus on each plot in turn, creating some of Châteauneuf's most elegant and precise wines.
"The palate is fresh and smooth with real finesse and aromas of red fruit sabayon, liquorice and violets." - Francois and Marie Giraud, Winemakers.
