"A pure pleasure
"This estate's classic cuvée, Lirac La Fermade Blanc 2023, is based on 55% Grenache, 25% Clairette and 10% Picpoul and Ugni Blanc, all aged in stainless steel. Orange blossom, ripe melon and pear notes define the aromas, and the wine is medium-bodied on the palate, with a nicely textured, balanced and concentrated style that will allow it to shine at the table." (Jeb Dunnuck 2025)

Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
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.

About the wine:
Mouth full of fruit. Nicely balanced and integrated, with perfume, interest and weight. Probably not a long-keeping wine, but well made!
