"Four grape varieties are combined in this full-bodied, warm cuvée with accents of blueberry, blackberry and spice. These warm, candied aromas are echoed on the supple palate, with silky tannins and a delicately floral (violet) finish. A charming, convivial wine to open now. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) Superb value for money.

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.
