Lirac Rouge
Lirac is a Provençal wine that comes as a red, white, or rosé. The reds are of most interest and are made from a mixture of Grencahe, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Syrah. To generalize about style, red Lirac is somewhere between the pale, lighter Côtes-du-Rhône and heady, full-bodied Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Typically priced from $10 to $20, red Lirac from better producers can offer some of the best buys of the Southern Rhône.
