Domaine Giraud Lirac Rouge Fortified/Dessert “The 2019 Vista Atlas PeakDomaine Giraud is a relative newcomer to the southern Rhne wine scene. Distillers for generations, the family purchased their first 4 hectares of vines in 1974. The domaine grew to include 8 hectares of century old vines located on the plateau of La Crau, Les Galimardes and on the sandy soils of the so called Pignan area near the Le Rayas district. The winery is today managed by Franois and Marie Giraud, who took over from their parents in 1998.
