Les Muretins Estate—about ten hectares in all—includes several plots located on the appellations of Tavel (6.50ha) and Lirac (3.80ha).
The plots in Lirac have wonderful, relatively clay-laden soils: stony terraces on a clay-sandstone base, alluvial deposits of red earth and shingles, uneven layers pebbles on a thin layer of marl.
The wine was partially aged in tanks and in oak barrels for 18 months.

Guide Hachette 2023 *
An elegant and precise Lirac, sunny nose on stewed forest fruits tinged with vanilla, mellowness mouth feel, with suave fruitiness supported by crispy and delicate tannins.

90/100 - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
(...) The 2018 Lirac does show some herbal notes up front, but they merge seamlessly with the blackberry fruit. The wine is full-bodied and creamy across the mid-palate, then firms up on the complex tea-and berry finish.

90/100 - Wine Enthusiast
Fresh mint and thyme mingle into lavender and lilac on the nose of this full-bodied but spirited red. A blend of grenache, syrah, mourvedre and cinsault, it offers crisp blueberry and blackberry flavors edged by a firm granite undertone. A fresh, elegant wine to enjoy now-2024.

What could end up being an outstanding wine, Domaine des Muretins 2015 La Parcelle has a great bouquet of lavender, framboise and flowers as well as medium to full-bodied richness and a polished and, elegant style. It shows a touch of its oak elevage on the palate, but has more than enough fruit to handle it.
Ce vin a tout pour devenir exceptionnel. La Parcelle 2015 offre un bouquet d'arômes extraordinaire de lavande, de framboise et de fleurs, une richesse relativement corsée, dans un style fondu et élégant. La touche de boisé en bouche est bien équilibrée par son fruit intense.

Guide Bettane Desseauve 2015
94/100 - (...) L'attaque est pleine de tempérament, opiniâtre. La crème de cerises noires y est retenue par des tanins croquants et du cacao. Lavande, chèvrefeuille et salinité sont prisonniers de la rétro-olfaction. La finale est un happy-end, où les épices du gingembre parviennent à réunir tous les arômes précités. L'un des meilleurs vins de l'appellation.
