Domaine Maby - Côtes-du-Rhône Variations 2017

Robert Parker
“Four grape varieties are blended in this full-bodied, warm cuvée with notes of blueberries, blackberries, and spices. These sweet, candied, and warm aromas carry over to the palate, where the wine is supple, framed by silky tannins, and finished with a delicately floral (violet) aftertaste. A charming and approachable wine that’s ready to drink now.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) A superb value.

About the estate:
This winery, 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 located primarily 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 served as the estate’s consultant.
