Famille Brechet Lirac Plateau des Chenes Blanc

Classy and elegant, yet with ample richness. Offers white peach, white berries, subtle brioche and some vanilla creaminess to go with a medium-bodied, fresh profile on the palate. Last of the family estates, Le Plateau des Chênes is located on the best soils of the appellation of Lirac. Thanks to Laurent Bréchet, the family started to grow this vineyard in 2010. Lirac is still unknown as a cru but represents one of the up and coming terroirs of tomorrow.
