Domaine Maby - Côtes-du-Rhône Variations 2016
1*Étoile
Hachette
Variations en blanc opens with a clean, expressive nose with floral and brioche notes. A consistent wine on the palate, focused on fruit with hints of ripe apple and white peach, with a very distinctive finish that pairs beautifully with fish and seafood. A truly seductive cuvée!

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
This estate, renowned for its consistent quality, particularly its Lirac wines in all three colors and its Tavel wines, was founded in 1950 by Armand Maby. In 2005, his grandson Richard took over the reins of the vineyard, 53 hectares located mainly on the rounded pebbles of the Vallongue plateau; the vines are cultivated "naturally" and have been in conversion to organic farming since 2019. Since 2011, the eminent Rhône oenologist Philippe Cambie has been advising the estate.
