“A real treat”
This lovely white wine from Lirac offers a surprising balance and refreshing character. Blended from White Grenache, Picpoul, Clairette, and Ugni Blanc for its lively character, the nose opens with notes of fruit, citrus, and white flowers. The palate is well-balanced and reflects all the minerality of the Lirac terroir. A truly delightful white wine—pure pleasure!

About the estate:
This estate, known for its consistent quality—particularly its Lirac wines 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.
