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, white-fleshed fruit, and mineral notes; a palate of rare finesse, long, fresh, and fruity. Lobster, fine fish, or foie gras as accompaniments: you’ll be spoiled for choice.” ( Hachette Wine Guide 2010)

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.
