La Fermade Blanc embodies all the smoothness and tender richness of the great Liracs, with notes of broom, jasmine, and candied pears, followed by apricots. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif or during a meal with seafood, fish, fruit desserts... Exquisite!

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 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.

A fine Lirac, a fine expression of Grenache, and good value for the price.
