“Pure pleasure”
"This estate's classic cuvée, the 2023 Lirac La Fermade Blanc, is made from 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 beautifully textured, balanced, and concentrated style that will allow it to shine at the table.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2025)

Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by 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.

Jancis Robinson
Wine rated (2024 guide) 16,5/20
About the wine:
Full of fruit on the palate. Nicely balanced and well-integrated, with aroma, complexity, and body. Probably not a wine for long-term aging, but it’s well-made!
