Lirac, 2022, Pierres Vivantes Rouge, By Chateau de Boucarut, Rhone, France
$25.99
Regular price $22.99Pierres Vivantes is a Cru Lirac from Château de Boucarut in the southern Rhône, made in a natural, low-intervention style
Appellation: Lirac AOC
Color: Red
Blend: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault
Style: Dry, medium-to-full bodied, fresh and savory
Aromas: Dark cherry, blackberry, red berries, pepper, herbs and earthy/mineral notes
Palate: Juicy and concentrated, with spicy fruit, lively acidity, fine tannins and a stony, savory finish.
Winemaking: Hand-harvested, organic/natural approach, indigenous yeasts, with minimal intervention. The cuvée is associated with unfined/unfiltered production and very low or no added sulfites.
The Lirac appellation sits on the Rhône's right bank, opposite the more famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Its Mediterranean climate, Mistral winds and soils containing rounded Rhône river stones give the wines ripe fruit while helping retain freshness.
The Pierres Vivantes cuvée has received particularly strong attention: the 2022 was selected as a “Coup de Cœur” by La Revue du Vin de France and received 90 points in its list of fresh Rhône wines. Earlier vintages have also been praised for their spicy, stony character and lively red-fruit profile.
Food pairing: Excellent with grilled lamb, steak, sausages, roasted poultry, Provençal vegetables, ratatouille, herbed dishes and aged cheeses.
A lively, natural-style Lirac with ripe Rhône fruit, peppery spice and savory minerality—more fresh and energetic than heavy, while still delivering plenty of Southern Rhône character.
