Moulin des Chênes, Lirac 2021

The 2021 vintage faced a major challenge with a severe spring frost, greatly reducing yields. Luckily, a warm summer followed, allowing the grapes to reach full maturity and develop intense flavors. Harvest began on September 9th.

VINIFICATION The grapes were destemmed, crushed, and fermented in stainless steel vats at 25°C. The wine spent 15 days on skins, with daily pump-overs and rack and returns to enhance color and tannin extraction. It was aged in concrete vats for 10 months. 

TASTING NOTES Deep crimson in color, it offers aromas of ripe strawberries, blackberries, and wild herbs, with a juicy palate of red fruits and subtle spice.
