Château de Montfaucon Lirac Rhône Valley 2019 France

This cushy red from the Lirac region in southern France brings a special kind of juicy flavor and style to the drinking table. It's exactly how good Rhône wine should be - honest and flavorful with a delicious sipp-ability you'll want to share with your friends. Château de Montfaucon is in the heart of the Rhône Valley and our friend Rudi de Pin is making a strong case for the quality of Lirac wines on the world stage. Lirac is one of 13 crus in the Rhône Valley and literally a stone's throw (okay maybe more like a 5-iron) across the river from Châteauneuf du Pape. Some vineyards are more than a century old and Rudi believes Lirac offers unequaled quality for the price. The Montfaucon Lirac 2019 is comfort food in a glass with warm, ripe cherry and a hint of subtle spice at the end. The combination of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Cinsault is hand-picked from Rudi's estate resulting in a hearty red wine handcrafted for a home cooked meal and a gathering of your favorite people. That's how they do it in the southern Rhône and so should we. Good times!
