1*Étoile

Hachette

(2015 Vintage Notes)
"Variations en blanc" opens with a clean, expressive nose featuring floral and brioche notes. On the palate, it is well-balanced and fruit-forward, with hints of ripe apple and white peach, and a very distinctive finish that pairs beautifully with fish and seafood. A truly captivating wine!

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (2017 guide) 1*Star (2015 vintage) (A very successful wine)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

This estate, known for its consistently high-quality wines—particularly its Lirac wines in all three varieties and its Tavel wines—was founded in 1950 by Armand Maby. In 2005, his grandson Richard took over the vineyard, which spans 53 hectares, mostly situated on the rounded pebbles of the Vallongue plateau; the vines are cultivated “naturally” and have been in the process of converting to organic farming since 2019. Since 2011, the eminent Rhône oenologist Philippe Cambie has been advising the estate.
