Domaine du Joncier Le Classique 2007 Lirac, Côtes du Rhône

from Waitrose (Red Wine) 29. March 2010 20:53

A big, intense and gutsy red from the tiny village of Lirac.

Domaine du Joncier is a hidden gem of a property from an up-and-coming village in the Rhône Valley. The Domaine is run by the charming Marine Roussell and the wine is dense and beefy, with a good deal of brooding rich fruit and great concentration.

"...the time is ripe to pick up this Grenache-based blend from the southern Rhône with its spicy, heartwarming pepper and plum fruitiness."
Anthony Rose, The Independent, 13 March 2010

"From arguably Lirac’s leading domaine – another great 2007 from the southern Rhône that has smoky savoury spice."
Jancis Robinson, Financial Times, 4 December 2009

£9.49 per bottle or £113.88 per 12 bottle case

This Grenache dominated wine is excellent value for money. An intense and powerful red that is a joy on the palate. Excellent with red meat.
