WHY WE LOVE IT

• One of the 13 “Crus” of the Rhone Valley, Lirac sits across the river from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, has similar soil and exposure, and thoughtfully produced wines from this region are amongst the Rhone Valley’s best values
• The Roux family holds 13 hectacres of land in Lirac, on an old vine site they call “Les Pellegrin.”
• Vines are 70 years old, pruned in the goblet style, with sandy subsoil and a luxuriously thick topping of “galets,” the large stones that one expects in Lirac

Varietal Composition: 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah
