As far back as 1344, it is clear that the Armenier family has owned vines in what is
now Chateaneuf-du-Pape. Today, the Armenier family is still intimately linked with
the village and its vineyards. The property is run and managed by sisters Catherine
Armenier and Sophie Estevenin. Together, they share the winemaking responsibilities
and oversight of their extremely old vines which are farmed biodynamically. This
practice started in 1990 at the winery and is now practiced on all parcels.

"Lirac is still a work in progress as the Armenier sisters study the vineyard. The 2004 Lirac Lorentine is well-made, has good, tart acidity, but still lacks the texture and richness that I suspect they will obtain in the future. It should be drunk over the next 3-4 years." -Rated 86, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
