Château de Montfaucon Baron Louis Lirac 2015 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 91/100

Château de Montfaucon Baron Louis 2015 is a rich Rhône red from Lirac and is dry, full-bodied and velvety with lavender, wild herbs, dark berry, cherry, tanned leather, cedar brush, anise and pepper spice flavours vibrant on the palate. A beautifully-crafted 50% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 15% Syrah and 10% Carignan red wine blend to drink now or hold. Château de Montfaucon is an 88-acre estate located across the Rhône River from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is owned and operated by Rodolphe de Pins, a U.C. Davis graduate and former member of the winemaking team at Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe. Baron Louis was a seminal figure in the history of Montfaucon and restored the château on the estate in the 19th century.

Food pairings: meat-lover's pizza, roasted root vegetable stew, roast pork, sauteed beef tenderloin, rack of lamb.
