Domaine du Joncier, Lirac, Regard, 2016
Mostly Syrah with Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan. Now-2023
Marine first adopted organic viticulture many years ago, then bio-dynamics, and from the 2011 vintage all her wines have been certified as both. She is absolutely confident of the benefits: she feels her vines are healthier and stronger, more resistant to disease and drought.

Absolutely loving the sun case, what a great way to be introduced to new wines.Read More
