Known as a top Chateauneuf-Du-Pape producer, this 2018 Lirac really over performs!

90 Points! Robert Parker
“The 2018 Lirac Lou Camine is a medium to full-bodied wine with a lush, creamy mouthfeel
and a peppery finish that successfully accents the red-fruit flavors of cherries and raspberries.”
Our Thoughts on this wine.....
The 2018 Ogier Lirac "Lou Caminé" Rouge is a deep cherry red color.
The nose is a bouquet of ripe red fruits with hints of leather, mild spices, complex with some mineral character. A full-bodied palate with fresh aromas - very elegant, silky and attractive tannins with a long finish.
You will think you are drinking a $60 Chateauneuf-Du-Pape!

A bit about Ogier.....
Few Rhône Valley producers can compare to the history and pedigree of Ogier.
The family name dates to 800 A.D. when “Ogier the Dane” came to fight with Charlemagne’s soldiers in the Basque country, and on his way back home, settled in southeastern France’s Massif Central region. Antoine Ogier, a distant descendant of Ogier the Dane, entered the wine business in 1859, purchasing a cooperage and establishing “OGIER” as a wine producer in the nearby Rhône Valley.
After more than 160 years, Ogier has grown to become one of the leading producers in the Rhône Valley.
Most of its land holdings are in the Southern Rhône area producing wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Lirac. The Estate also makes small but exceptional bottlings from parcels within the most notable appellations of the Northern Rhône - Crozes-Hermitage and Côte Rôtie.
Ogier’s wines are an ode to finesse, elegance and freshness.
