Lirac
Ce Lirac arbore une robe rubis pourpre. Le nez offre des arômes de fruits noirs (myrtille, cassis et mûre), mais aussi de réglisse et de garrigue. La bouche, puissante et généreuse, dévoile des tanins présents mais enrobés, avec une belle amplitude, du gras et une finale très longue et fraîche. Un pur délice…
Terroirs : les vignes sont situées à Saint-Laurent des Arbres et Saint-Génies-de-Comolas sur la « Rive Droite » du Rhône. Les sols, très riches en sables pliocènes avec sur certaines parcelles la présence de silice rouge mêlée de quelques galets épars, confèrent profondeur et fraîcheur dans ce vin. Viticulture raisonnée.
Vinification : Macération en cuve béton, quelques remontages et délestages, jus de presse et jus de goutte élevés séparément puis assemblés après quelques mois. L’élevage se décompose ainsi : 45% en foudre, 40% en cuve béton, 13% en cuve acier, 2% en barrique ancienne.
Accords mets/vin : cuisine du sud, petit gibier, fromages à pâte molle, plats asiatiques, charcuterie.

The Estate Clos du Mont-Olivet
The Clos du Mont Olivet was created in 1932 by Séraphin Sabon, and since its origins the family estate has been producing high quality, classic Châteauneuf du Pape on magnificent terroirs, as well as Côtes du Rhône wines of excellent quality.
The vineyard covers 32 hectares, 20.5 hectares of which are used for the Châteauneuf wines, which are made from a large majority of Grenache grapes, while the whites are made from Bourboulenc and Roussanne.
The domain still seems to be unknown in the area. But for how much longer...? The wines of the domain are regularly acclaimed by the finest tasters such as Parker, Bettane & Desseauve, RVF who often place Clos du Mont Olivet among the elite of the region.
The wines are always very deep, rich, imbued with their terroir, ready to stand the test of time. They will begin to peak at 10 years of age and will finish well after 20 years, depending on the vintage, when they will deliver all their aromatic complexity, which is impressive here. The Petit Mont is easier to access because of its constitution and also because of its really angelic price... As for the Côtes du Rhône, they are very good alternatives, providing a maximum of pleasure, like this Varène, which is predominantly Syrah and offers exceptional value for money... Then you may have the opportunity to touch the grail with this Papet cuvée produced only in the best vintages, which is the flagship cuvée of wine lovers.
The Clos du Mont Olivet is to be discovered as a matter of urgency because of the quality and consistency of all the vintages. Come and discover them on the website Les Passionnés du Vin. You can taste them with a multitude of dishes (game, meat in sauce, certain cheeses...) for exceptional tasting moments. Enjoy them and consume them in moderation.
