A lovely, fruit-filled rosé, yet one that manages to tie in notes of mineral and spice to complement cherry pie and peach flavors. Medium-bodied, with a long, complex finish.

It begins with an impressive bouquet of ripe cherries and sun-warmed stones, then adds some spicy complexity on the palate. It’s round and lush in the mouth without seeming overly ripe or heavy, and boasts a lingering finish.

Much more famous for its Tavel rosé, this estate also turns out an attractive, easy to drink red from Lirac. The 2003 shows plenty of bright, fresh fruit married to complex briar and herb notes. Supple tannins make it approachable now.

Intensely flavored and crisp, marrying herbal and mineral notes to juicy strawberry fruit. It’s awfully easy to drink, and the crisp anise-tinged finish draws you back for another sip time after time.
