Notes: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine), RVF Les Meilleurs Vins à Petits Prix 14/20
“A good level of flavor, making it approachable and easy to pair with food.” (Les Meilleurs Vins à Petits Prix 2010 - Gerbelle & Maurange) • “This is a rich and complex wine with aromas of flowers and ripe fruit. A powerful attack, full-bodied texture, and a finish enlivened by a touch of freshness make it a great Côtes-du-Rhône to serve with a meal—such as trout with almonds, for example.” (Guide Hachette des Vins 2010)

Hachette Wine Guide

Guide Hachette des vins

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 in all three varieties and its Tavel—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 using natural methods 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.
