2006 Lirac Blanc Cuvee de la Reine des Bois Domaine de la Mordoree
The finest white Lirac we have tasted, produced from a blend of 30% Grenache Blanc, 15% Viognier, 15% Rousanne, 10% Marsanne, 10% Picpoul, 10% Clairette and 10% Bourboulenc. The average age of the vines is 30 years and yields are low at 35hl/ha. The wine is 25% barrel fermented and has aromas of peaches, apricot and pears with a rounded, full flavoured finish. Can be drunk young but will improve and develop greater complexity with 12 months cellarage, keeping for a further 3-4 years.
