INFO: A Châteauneuf-du-Pape property on top form, with a formidable range of impressive wines. The winemaking has been in the hands of the talented Didier Négron (whose wife is a Sabon) since 2004. Robert Parker has been a regular visitor and customer for over 20 years.
Lirac has become a great source of good value, full bodied reds that have a rich and silky spiciness. Lirac by Roger Sabon is initially perfumed and floral, backed by smoky berry notes with a rich long finish.
