“Now certified organic, the 2022 Lirac la Fermade is a strong 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 easy-drinking, then firms up slightly on the finish, giving it the structure needed to age well for several more years.” (Wine Advocate 2024)

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 colors 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 “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.

Wine Enthusiast
Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
A juicy, rich wine, brimming with aromas of oven-roasted 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.
Jancis Robinson
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.
