Domaine du Joncier Le Classique 2008 Lirac, Côtes du Rhône, France

Award Winner Bin Number: 730495
Up to 3 cases / 36 bottles in stock

The wine is dense and beefy, with a good deal of brooding, rich fruit and great concentration. Domaine du Joncier is a hidden gem of a property from an up-and-coming village in the Rhône Valley. The Domaine has been run by the charming Marine Roussell for the last twenty years. A classic match for a Sunday roast.

In The Press:

"...The deep colour and berryish character of this luscious example could have been made for the rich, yet subtle textures and flavours of lamb - a sensual wine for an indulgent feast...Here the Domaine's owner, Marine Roussel, has created an artful balance of grenache, syrah and mourvedre that offers a depth and richness it would be hard to find in a wine made from just one variety.
Giles Kime, The Sunday Telegraph, 28 March 2010 (2007 vintage)
