DOMAINE GRAND VENEUR LIRAC « CLOS DE SIXTE » 2010 
Navire-amiral de la maison JAUME & Fils, le Grand Veneur a étendu son vignoble en 2003 sur l'appellation lirac avec ce Clos de Sixte. Dans sa version 2010, le vin, paré d'une robe carminée aux reflets violets, dévoile un nez complexe de fruits cuits, d'épices, de tabac blond et de pierre à fusil. La bouche est à l'unisson, bien équilibrée, longue et d'une puissance mesurée. À boire dans les deux ans à venir.

Along with Domaine de la Mordoree, the Jaumes produce one of the finest wines of Lirac. The 2010 Clos de Sixte Lirac should compete with the brilliant 2009. Black currant, spring flower, licorice and crushed rock aromas jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied, beautifully pure, textured and dense Lirac. It should drink well for at least a decade
DOMAINE GRAND VENEUR LIRAC “Clos de Sixte” red 2009 – (93/100)
A prodigious effort ; the 2009 Lirac “Clos de Sixte”. This dense purple-colored wine offers up notes of black truffles, charcoal, blackberries, kirsch, garrigue, new saddle leather, herbs de Provence, spice box, and smoke. It possesses great fruit, full-bodied power, excellent depth, and abundant silky tannins. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.
DOMAINE GRAND VENEUR CLOS DE SIXTE Lirac 2007 : (93/100)
The 2007 Lirac Clos de Sixte is composed of 50% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 15% Mourvedre. Abundant licorice, graphite, black cherry, and blackberry characteristics are offered in a full-bodied, deep, fleshy style. Liracs generally do not age as long as Chateauneuf du Papes, but this effort is capable of lasting 5-7 years where well-stored as it is a big, impressively endowed wine.
