Lunar Apoge Lirac White 2020

Lunar’s Apogée Lirac Blanc 2020 is a southern Rhône white that balances sun-kissed generosity with a surprising, savoury restraint—ripe stone fruit and blossom on the surface, underpinned by a quietly mineral, gently waxy texture. In a region better known for reds, this style of Lirac Blanc offers real charm: aromatic, textural, and made to shine at the table.

Appearance:
Bright straw to light gold with a soft green-gold sheen.

Aroma:
White peach, nectarine and ripe pear, lifted by orange blossom and honeysuckle. Hints of fennel frond, almond, and a faint lanolin/wax note, with a fresh citrus edge.

Taste:
Dry and medium-bodied with a rounded, silky feel. Stone fruit and citrus glide across the palate, joined by subtle spice and a gentle savoury note. A fine line of acidity keeps the richness in check, while a light saline/mineral thread adds definition and poise.

Finish:
Smooth and persistent—stone fruit, lemon curd and soft almond, finishing clean with a whisper of herbal freshness.

Food Pairing:
Grilled sea bass, roast chicken with tarragon, creamy pasta with prawns, scallops, vegetable tarts, or semi-soft cheeses like brie and reblochon-style.
