Rating: Bettane & Desseauve 14/20 ( Immediate pleasure)
“The aromatic profile evokes candied citrus and white pepper with great flair. The palate is crisp and harmonious, with noble bitter notes. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2013). A rich and complex white with aromas of flowers and ripe fruit... A highly recommended bottle!

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.
