Notes: Hachette Guide “Coup de Coeur” + 2** (remarkable wine), Bettane & Desseauve 14.5/20, Gault Millau 14/20
“Half Viognier, half Grenache Blanc, fermented in oak barrels. The result speaks for itself: a magnificent golden color with green highlights; a highly aromatic nose blending smoky, citrus, and white-fleshed fruit aromas with mineral notes; a palate of rare finesse, long, fresh, and fruity. Pair it with lobster, fine fish, or foie gras—you’ll be spoiled for choice.” ( Hachette Wine Guide 2010)

Led by the dynamic Richard Maby, the estate continues to evolve, with the wines gaining in precision each year. The vineyards are located in the municipalities of Tavel, the Lirac plateau, and the neighboring Côtes du Rhône. Reasonable prices and the consistent quality of the wines make this estate a safe bet on the current market—across all three wine types.

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 wines in all three varieties and its Tavel wines—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 “naturally” 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.
