Ratings: Robert Parker 88/100, Bettane & Desseauve 14/20 (Enjoy now), Gerbelle & Maurange 14.5/20
“The 2011 Lirac La Fermade is an unusual blend of 40% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, and 30% Syrah, aged in tanks. Fresh and lively, with distinct notes of new leather, earth, blackberry, black cherry, spices, and pine, it is medium-bodied on the palate, with a fresh, light texture, good acidity, and a clean finish. This solid wine should age gracefully for 7–8 years, if not longer.” (Wine Advocate – Robert Parker)

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 “au naturel” 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.
