- Gold, Gilbert & Gaillard International Competition, 2023
Pure Syrah is rarely found solo in the wines of the Languedoc-Roussillon; it's usually reserved for the pricy reds of the northern Rhône. From a small family domaine and vineyards close to Corbières, this has dark, smoky black fruit and spice.

Our scout and buyer for the Languedoc-Roussillon is Mark Hoddy. He's always searching the region's vineyards, to check out the vintage and the finest parcels of grapes. This is an ace find Mark discovered first in 2019 via an old friend in Corbières. Close by is Domaine La Lirande, a small estate founded in 1912 by the grandfather, François, in the tiny village of Coulobres. Every year, the Syrah from the domaine's 8 hectares of 40-year-old vines stands out for quality, especially in 2022 which, despite both spring frosts and summer hail, has produced exceptional wines. Just taste the richness of this seductive red. Ripe black fruit with smoky liquorice and wild herb notes, it's still young, so open early and decant. Great at a barbecue.
