Terroirs d'exception
The Lirac appellation arranges its vineyards in terraces and on hillsides, between scrubland, the Mistral wind and sunshine. The soils are mainly made up of rounded pebbles, limestone scree and sand from the late Tertiary period. Particularly appreciated, the 2023 vintage charms with its aromatic complexity, the finesse of its tannins and its remarkable balance.
