Lirac is situated to the west of the Rhone Valley. Lirac is most widely known for producing red wine varieties that are full-bodied in addition to a sizeable amount of Rose. Lirac does also produce a minimal quantity of white wine, with those being more weighty varieties of Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, and Clairette. Rose from the Lirac region are notably less expensive than the Rose of  the nearby Tavel region, however they are an equally, if not better, alternative to the Tavel Rose, as their quality depends more on the juice than on the Prestige of the Tavel name. Lirac and Tavel have come to be fiere competitors for the Rose category. The regions of Lirac and Tavel are only separated by a parish boundary, so both regions benefit from the same climate and excellent drainage with soils consisting of sandstone and limestone. The reds produced by Lirac  are the Southern Rhone varieties of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvedre. These Lirac reds are comparable to the delicate Cotes du Rhone wines. With that success, producers in the Lirac region are also making wine styles similar to Chateauneuf du Pape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"alain-jaume-lirac-rouge-roquedon-2022","title":"Alain Jaume Lirac Rouge Roquedon 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlain Jaume Lirac Rouge Roquedon is made from 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, 10% Carignan.
