VINIFICATION :

Our Lirac Blanc is made from young vines aged five years. The grapes are harvested by hand in the morning dew to preserve the fruit’s freshness.

Vinification takes place at low temperature for two to three weeks in stainless steel vats or barrels. We make this wine using our own yeasts, which gives it additional character.

2022 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Lirac Blanc

A blend of Grenache Blanc and Clairette. the 2022 Lirac Blanc is more medium gold-hued with a more serious style in its pear and orchard fruits as well as spice and hints of minerality. Nicely textured. medium-bodied. balanced. and elegant on the palate. it’s a beautiful white that will shine on the dinner table.

Honeyed lime, mineral, flowers, and citrus all emerge on the nose. andits medium-bodied and clean, with a great texture and a crisp finish, Based on Clairette and Grenache brought upin a mix of barrels and tank, its perfect for enjoying overthe coming 2-3 years.

One of the leading estates in Châteauneuf du Pape is unquestionably Domaine Pierre Usseglio. which is run by Thierry and Jean-Pierre Usseglio. with the next (generation of Gregory Usseglio now working full-time with the estate as well The lineup has shifted shightly over the years, with their Côtes du Rhône being. replaced by the L’Unique label which is released as a Vin de France. They produce a terrific Lirac, both red and white. Looking at the Châteauneuf du Pape releases, the classic red and white are now released under the label Premiere Pierre. and they ve added the new Clos Pierre Usseglio 18 Cépages, which includes all 18 ofthe permitted grape varieties, red and white. The Cuvée Mon Aieul and Reserve des Deux Freres remain unchanged andre two brillant. yet dramatically different. expressions of Grenache.
