Reviews and Ratings

From the Lirac appellation, Château de Montfaucon 2016 is a medium-plus-bodied red wine blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, fragrant with lavender, spicy black cherry, concentrated and lush on the palate with plum, black cherry, dried strawberry matched with vibrant acidity. Tannins are dusty. Pour with a sausage cassoulet. The history of Château de Montfaucon dates back to the 11th century when the castle's first tower was built. The castle's role in history was strategic; the Rhône River was the border between the French Kingdom and the Holy Roman German Empire. - Community Wine Reviews
