The 2023 Domaine Pierre Usseglio Lirac is a vibrant Southern Rhône red showing red cherry, blackberry and plum with garrigue herbs, pepper and subtle earthy spice.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and structured, with fresh acidity, supple tannins and layers of ripe fruit, dried herbs and savoury spice. The finish is dry, balanced and persistent.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Rhône drinkers who enjoy generous fruit balanced by herbal and savoury character. Best enjoyed over the next 4–7 years. Pair with Provençal lamb stew, duck with olives, grilled pork with rosemary or roasted eggplant with chickpeas.

About the region

Rhône Valley · Lirac

The Rhône is really two regions under one name. In the north, between Vienne and Valence, Syrah grows alone on steep granite terraces at Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Joseph, while Viognier makes the perfumed whites of Condrieu. Further south the valley widens and warms, and Grenache leads blends drawn from a long list of permitted varieties at Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. The two halves share a river and little else.
