Description
Rhone, France
The parcels of vines that produce the Château Saint-Roch Lirac Confidentielle Rouge are located on the sandy limestone slopes of the mountains of Saint Géniès, at a height of around 300 metres. Some of the plots planted with old vines have particularly good exposure and produce beautiful and exceptionally concentrated grapes. The wine they give is aged for 12 months in second and third fill French oak barrels.
Ideal now, but it will age gracefully for another five or six years with ease.
Tasting Notes: Château Saint-Roch Lirac Confidentielle Rouge is vibrant purple with aromas of violets. It has deep and plentiful plum fruit flavours with notes of spices and bitter chocolate. Rich, chewy and generous on the palate, it has a big finish that lasts well.
