Nearly opaque crimson color.
Rich bouquet with tannins present.
Immediately spiced on the palate with an earthy, cocoa, herbaceous, candied, fertilized quality.
Lots of gentle chocolate rounded out by dark, fresh fruit. — 5 days ago

Winery notes
Not an easy wine to find, check out K&L

blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Roussanne, this wine is distinctly floral and lush, exemplifying the quality that the famed Brechet family of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s Château Vaudieu brings to every wine in their lineup. The Brechet family has an estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and just across the river from it they own a few small parcels in Lirac. This lovely little wine is at once floral, delicate, and rich, with a surprisingly weighty palate and a round quality on the tongue that enhances its depth. You might think a white from 2015 is a bit on the old side, but this little gem is just hitting its stride. With its couple of added years of age it has mellowed out, creating an almost honeyed quality in the glass that intensifies the complexity and lengthens the finish. It’s simply begging to be paired with a lightly spiced Asian cuisine such as a milder Thai dish or a traditional pork Bahn Mi. — 5 years ago

Rich and ripe red cherry aromas and flavors, firm yet ripe tannic structure, very nice length, this has improved — a lot — since my last bottle, medium-long finish, very fine Lirac!! — 3 months ago

Strong tanines, alcohol and round full bodied wine. Fruity at the start and gets spicy at the end. — 6 months ago

@Delectablewine this is not Roussanne, it’s a Grenache blend. That said, this shows concentrated, somewhat sappy red berries backed by a savory character adding some complexity. Chalky tannins add texture to the otherwise juicy finish. Aromatics trail the palate a bit, but show similar character. This has benefitted from a few years in the bottle — 5 years ago
