Domaine la Rocaliere, Lirac Blanc "Le Classique", Rhone Valley, France 2023
{organic} 60% Grenache Blanc, 40% Clairette
PEACH, GINGER, PEAR, FLORAL & DRY
Lirac Blanc is often a fantastic substitute for white Chateauneuf du Pape, and at a more reasonable price, it affords people an opportunity to enjoy this luxurious experience on a more frequent basis. Lush and full-flavored, it exudes pretty floral hints with stone fruit while young. Over time, ginger, earth, and roasted nut flavors develop and assert themselves.
Serving Suggestions: Pork loin, or pork chops with just salt and pepper. Lobster with drawn butter; prawns or langoustines also.
