2015 Lirac Rouge “Les Muses”
Domaine du Joncier
The vineyards of Lirac are littered with alluvial riverbed stones and surrounded by spicy, resinous garrigue herbs—a long-documented recipe for success in the Southern Rhône. At Domaine du Joncier, Marine Roussel crafts this special cuvée with a high proportion of Mourvèdre, giving a Lirac of exceptional structure, freshness, and aging potential. Full of ripe fruit and brawny tannins, it can be enjoyed now or later.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
