"Barrel-fermented, Tavel Libiamo 2016 is a blend of Grenache Noir and Grenache Blanc. This full-bodied, richly textured rosé features notes of vanilla and sweet spices that add to more traditional tangerine and cherry notes, and proves gourmand, velvety and warm on a long finish." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
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.
