This 2017 Lirac is 99% Clairette (and 1% Grenache Blanc) from an old head-pruned vineyard with 125-year-old vines which always produces such an unique white wine, some of the previous vintages have seemed to develop rather quickly, but this well-balanced beauty is still going strong at age 9, long, lingering finish, Rudi nailed this vintage, lovely!! — 3 months ago
2017 vintage. Opened two bottles for the FLB (Friday Lunch Bunch) and decanted both. Small amount of sed observed in both bottles. Tasted after 15 minutes and 2 hours. Medium body with medium heavy body intensity. Cinnamon, fresh mud, dark plum, allspice and tobacco coming through loud and clear. It was two bottles of this for a group of 9 or one bottle of 2019 Rostaing La Viallière for the same group... choices...3.27.26. — 2 months ago

This was great but not same level as prior bottles. Perhaps a slightly off cork ? Medium dark rubi robe, nose of blackcurrant, top soil and balsam with hints of cedar. Ever so slightly reticent tannins but overall great length and good complexity. Great now, but no rush. — 18 days ago
