Lirac is one of our favourite regions in the Rhône and when we were invited by winemaker Julian Dugas to blend up an exclusive cuvée using the pick of the cellar's barrels from the 2021 vintage, we naturally jumped at the chance. We spent the afternoon tasting every single barrel and trying different combinations until we had the style of the wine just how we wanted it. We settled on a blend of four barrels, three medium toast 600l ones that we blended with one 228l. The resulting wine has lovely fruit up front, great intensity and length with a finish that has a coconut note that is amazing.
