"Intense color with youthful highlights. Attractive nose combining morello cherry, red fruit, liquorice, spices and a hint of animal. Silky, taut palate that quietly unfurls its rich young flavors with ripe, supportive tannins. Harmonious, saline finish. (Gilbert & Gaillard)

About the domain :
This estate, which is highly consistent in terms of quality, notably for its lirac, in all 3 colors, and tavel, 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.
