A surprisingly fresh balance for this lovely Lirac white. Composed of Grenache blanc, Clairette and Picpoul for liveliness, the nose opens with fruit, citrus and white flowers. The palate is well balanced, reflecting all the minerality of the Lirac terroir. A lovely white for pure pleasure!

About the domain :
This estate, which is highly consistent in terms of quality, notably for its lirac, in all 3 colors, and tavel wines, was founded in 1950 by Armand Maby. In 2005, his grandson Richard took over the reins of the 53-hectare vineyard, mostly located on the rolled pebbles of the Vallongue plateau; the vines are cultivated "au naturel", and will be converted to organic farming in 2019. Since 2011, Philippe Cambie, an eminent Rhône nologist, has been advising the estate.
