Alain Jaume
Lirac 'Domaine du Clos de Sixte' 2020
From the family's organic estate in Lirac, directly across the Rhône from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, on the same Miocene molasse and galet soils. Hand-sorted, destemmed and fermented with pigeage for 18 days, then aged in concrete and French oak, it is inky and full, with kirsch, wild blackberry and blackcurrant liqueur, polished tannins and a licorice-vanilla finish.
