When in 1968, Marc and José discovered it, the domain consisted mainly of woods and scrubland. Covered under this vegetal mantle, a hidden terroir, promise of great wines, waiting. He was finally going to be able to be born thanks to the perseverance and the abnegation of the 2 brothers.
45 years later, the tradition continues. Indeed, in 2008, Marc was joined by his daughter Véronique who brings her feminine touch to the family know-how in the production of fine and elegant wines.

Tasting
Lirac Blanc has a brilliant, golden color with some green reflections. On the nose, we discover aromas of pineapple and passion fruit. On the palate, it develops a good balance between minerality, aroma of exotic fruits and freshness. We find these aromas of pineapple, passion fruit and hints of jasmine.
Food pairings
You can enjoy it on its own, with grilled fish, sushi or goat cheese or cold cuts. It is perfect with a Bouillabaisse or a grilled sea bream stuffed with fennel.
