The estate and the wine |
|
|
With 3 stars from the Guide des meilleurs Vins de France, Clos du Mont-Olivet is one of the most coveted estates in the Southern Rhône Valley. Based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and managed by the Sabon family, the estate benefits from a unique mix of soils—clay, quartz, and stones—that give their wines extraordinary aging potential. These are wines of remarkable finesse and elegance, designed to develop beautifully over time. |

The 2022 Red Lirac has everything to please! This juicy, well-balanced wine opens with charming floral notes, particularly peony, and ripe stone fruits, with a hint of pepper adding a touch of freshness. The palate is rich and generous, carrying through those southern flavors with a delicious hint of syrupy cherries. A perfect choice to pair with grilled or slow-cooked meats. Rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee. |
