Duseigneur 'Antares' Lirac

2020

60% Grenache  40% Mourvedre

Lirac, France

Domaine Duseigneur was inherited by Bernard Duseignuer in 2002 whose family have been winegrowers in Châteauneuf du Pape for the last five generations. While they are sometimes overshadowed by their neighbors Châteauneuf du Pape, Lirac has been producing wines for over 2,000 years and holds its own against its neighbors wines. Named after the main star of the constellation of Scorpio, it is a nod to Duseigneur’s biodynamic practices and working in harmony with cosmic rhythms. These particular grapes were grown on 50 year old vines in soils rich in sands and sandstone. With a silky body and tasting notes of black fruit, red fruit and a hint of white pepper, you can enjoy this wine with a rich stew or cellar and enjoy next year!
