Evolved and intense wine with a rich, full-bodied character, featuring notes of deep berries, tobacco, and blackcurrants, graceful by a dry and bitter finish, with a prominent weight of oak and a lingering aftertaste of liquorice root.

Rich, soft tactile quality with a deep, deep color. A nuanced nose with suggestions of leather and forest floor, complemented by the sweetness of blackberry and currant. The texture is well-balanced, with a smooth, medium finish.

Voss Experts4.5

This biodynamic Lirac Rouge presents a deep garnet hue, revealing a bouquet of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and a whisper of garrigue herbs, underscored by a subtle minerality. The palate is robust yet elegantly structured, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that frames the wine's core of dark berry fruit and hints of black pepper. A touch of anise and a savory, earthy complexity emerge on the extended finish, showcasing the wine's harmonious balance and regional typicity. This is a quintessential Rhône blend, offering both immediate pleasure and potential for graceful aging.

We are 50+ wine professionals (sommeliers, buyers, MW candidates) across the US, UK, France, Greece, Italy, and beyond. We review wines via blind tastings with a standardized rubric, using both 100-point and 5-star scales.

What the web is saying

This biodynamic Lirac Rouge offers a rich, full-bodied experience with prominent dark berry, oak, and spice flavors. While praised for its velvety texture and balanced structure, some find the tannins firm and finish dry/bitter. Reviews highlight earthy complexity and smoothness, though opinions vary on oak intensity.
