“Fermented in barrels, the 2016 Tavel Libiamo is a blend of Grenache Noir and Grenache Blanc. This full-bodied, richly textured rosé offers notes of vanilla and sweet spices that complement more traditional notes of mandarin and cherry, and proves to be luscious, velvety, and warm with a long finish. ” (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

The vineyards are located in the communes of Tavel, the Lirac plateau, and the neighboring Côtes du Rhône.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by 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.
