The 2004 Lirac Cuvee de la Reine des Bois blanc, a blend of Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne, Picpoul, Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Grenache blanc with about 15% of it barrel-fermented, shows wonderfully fleshy, ripe pear and honeysuckle notes with medium body and loads of texture and fruit. It is a beautiful wine to drink over the next 12-18 months. Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, VA; tel. (540) 722-9228
