Notes: Gerbelle & Maurange 14.5/20, Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine)
“This cuvée is a sure bet from the appellation, made from Clairette, Grenache Blanc, and Picpoul. The 2012 vintage captivates with its intense, floral, and fruity bouquet and its rich, round, and long finish, featuring citrus notes and a hint of honey.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)

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.

Review by Mr. YVES D. Posted on 12/19/2013
Excellent value for money; I enjoyed it with honey-glazed turkey tenderloins in a hazelnut crust, and it was superb. A wine full of body, fruit, and minerality—a must-try...

A wine with character, though it has a slight bitterness on the finish. The nose is very pleasant and lingering.
