2015 Lirac Rouge “Les Muses”
Domaine du JoncierThe 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.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
