"Now certified organic, the 2022 Lirac la Fermade is a standout vintage for this blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre aged in tanks. Hints of raspberry, strawberry, and herbs reveal great freshness on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is silky, supple, and approachable, then firms up slightly on the finish, giving it the structure needed to age gracefully for several more years.” (Wine Advocate 2024)

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.

About the wine:
A juicy, rich wine, bursting with aromas of baked blackberries and blueberries, framed by notes of bay leaf and black pepper. The concentrated palate, full of plums, is rounded out by a finish of minerality and dried herbs.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 15,5/20
About the wine:
A very expressive nose of kirsch and licorice. The palate is very juicy on the attack, followed by firm, tight tannins.
