Guillame Gonnet Le Virtuose Lirac

Why we love this tipple

“A Southern Rhône showstopper, straight from the sun-drenched hills of Lirac. Guillaume Gonnet’s Le Virtuose is a French red wine that sings with depth, soul, and unmistakable terroir. Bursting with intense red and black fruits, this bottle delivers richness without losing its cool. The nose dances with spice and wild Provençal herbs (that classic garrigue charm), while the palate unfolds with soft, elegant tannins and a swirl of liquorice, truffle and dark chocolate as it ages. Think velvet meets wild scrubland. This is Lirac with elegance dialled up and rusticity kept in check – a red that wears its southern warmth with finesse. Serve it with herb-crusted lamb, grilled aubergines, or just sip slowly by a fire and let it show off. Crafted for lovers of bold reds with a touch of the wild and plenty of class, Le Virtuose is one for the top rack – or tonight’s dinner. Either way, it’s got your name on it.”
