Domaine Maby - Côtes-du-Rhône Variations 2016
1*Étoile
Hachette
Variations en blanc opens with a clean, expressive nose, with floral and brioche accents. On the palate, the wine is homogeneous, fruit-driven, with hints of ripe apple and white peach, and a very personal finish that makes a fine match with fish and seafood... A seductive cuvée!

About the domain :
This estate, which is highly consistent in terms of quality, notably for its lirac, in all 3 colors, and tavel wines, was founded in 1950 by Armand Maby. In 2005, his grandson Richard took over the reins of the 53-hectare vineyard, mostly located on the rolled pebbles of the Vallongue plateau; the vines are cultivated "au naturel", and will be converted to organic farming in 2019. Since 2011, Philippe Cambie, an eminent Rhône nologist, has been advising the estate.
