Ch. de Montfaucon Lirac Rosé 2025

Being the neighbouring appellation to Tavel, one would expect the cellar here to produce a traditional gastronomic Rosé. It doesn’t disappoint. First introduced from the 2022 vintage, Grenache Noir, Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise grapes undergo a 12-72 saignée before being co-fermented in foudre, then aged for six months on the lees before bottling in March. Dry (3g/l RS), although the wood ageing gives the wine a sensation of richness. It is not as deep in appearance as Tavel, but it is easy to draw the comparison.
