Domaine de Marcoux Lirac “La Lorentine” 2022 is a beautifully crafted Southern Rhône red produced by the renowned Armenier family of Domaine de Marcoux in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Named in tribute to a family ancestor, “La Lorentine” reflects the estate’s commitment to biodynamic farming, purity of fruit, and elegant Rhône winemaking.

Sourced from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards in Lirac, this cuvée showcases a slightly fresher and more approachable style compared to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, while still offering impressive depth and complexity. The warm and concentrated 2022 vintage provides ripe fruit intensity balanced by freshness, silky tannins, and Mediterranean herbal nuances.

Crafted primarily from Grenache with Syrah and Mourvèdre support, the wine is vinified in concrete tanks to preserve terroir expression and fruit purity. “La Lorentine” delivers both immediate charm and the structure to evolve gracefully over the medium term.
