While this domaine was purchased in 2003 by the Armenier and Canto families, with Canto family managing the vintages and the Armenier sisters making the wines, the Canto family sold thier shares in 2010, and the estate is now completely run by the team at Marcoux. The 2013 Domaine Lorentine Lirac (40% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 30% Mourvedre aged 12 months in concrete tank) has more minerality and dark fruit than the straight C?tes du Rh?ne, with pretty kirsch, blueberry, ground herbs and licorice nuances all emerging from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, pure, fresh and possessing the hallmark elegance and seamlessness of this estate, it's an excellent 2013 to drink over the coming 4-5 years.
