Lirac Rose, 2025

Rounder and more vinous than the pale, crisp kind of rosé, with fresh red fruit and a bit of citrus.

Equal parts Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre from vines over 40 years old, on the sandy, pebbly soils around Lirac. Romain Le Bars picks by hand, presses the grapes straight away and lets the juice ferment and rest in large old casks and barriques, with no sulphur added. The wood is there for texture, not flavour: the result is round and vinous, with fresh, juicy fruit, red berries and a lick of citrus. A rosé with some weight to it.
