Wild cherry, damson and blackberry lead the nose, layered with cocoa, cracked pepper, dried herbs, liquorice and a little smoky spice. It has the generous fruit you want from Lirac, but the feel is more polished than rustic, with that lovely garrigue character running through the glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is full-flavoured, smooth and satisfying, with ripe dark fruit, silky tannins and a long, warming finish. Grenache brings the juicy heart, Syrah adds spice and structure, while Mourvèdre gives depth and a meaty, savoury note. A brilliant Rhône red for anyone who loves Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but wants something a little more relaxed, great value and ready to pour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA roast dinner needs southern Rhône comfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlow-roast lamb, beef stew, pork belly, grilled sausages, mushroom gratin, aubergine bake, lentil casserole, hard cheeses or rosemary roast potatoes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDomaine des Cigalounes is a small organic estate on the rocky plateau between Tavel and Lirac, just across the Rhône from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wine captures what makes Lirac so appealing: richness without heaviness, ripe fruit without losing spice, and a savoury herbal note that feels unmistakably southern French. It is a superb bottle for Rhône drinkers looking for character, comfort and value in the same glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54799770878337,"sku":null,"price":18.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/Untitled-design-40_a84cec24-e7e7-469c-a4cc-889683c5b44b.png?v=1783096280","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2022-lirac-domaine-des-cigalounes","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
