The Lirac Reine de Bois is probably the most important wine in this entire appellation. It isa unique blend of close to equal parts Grenache, Syrah and Mourvdre thats brought up in 30% used barrels, the balance in stainless steel. It literally jumps from the glass with loads of blackberry and currant fruits, graphite, charred meats, and peppery herbs.

  A second consecutive winner from this fine estate, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape is 66% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvdre, 6% Cinsault and 3% of the other permitted varieties. Grilled red plums lead off, fleshed out by other ripe stone fruits. Full-bodied and plush, it’s creamy in texture through the mid-palate, then long and silky on the finish, where it picks up hints of Asian five spice powder.
