Lirac "Héritage"

In the 16th century, Lirac wines, already highly appreciated by the world's great and good, were present on the tables of the great royal courts, both in France and abroad. In 1904, Comte Henri de Régis de Gatimel inherited Château de Ségriès within the appellation. At the time, the estate's only resources were a few cereals, silkworms and a modest vineyard. In 1925, he decided to replant the vineyard as it had existed in Roman times. AOC Lirac was classified as a Côtes du Rhône cru on October 14, 1947. AOC Lirac is located 15 kilometers northwest of Avignon, on the right bank of the Rhône, in the Gard department, in 4 communes, including Roquemaure, the birthplace of Côtes du Rhône, Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres and Saint-Géniès-de-Comolas, on the right bank of the Rhône.
