About the estate:
François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier are part of a new generation of young wine merchants in the Rhône Valley. Deeply involved in the production of their wines, they work closely with their winemaker friends throughout the year to preserve the unique character of each terroir. Their wines are well-structured without being overpowering, with perfectly defined aromas. The duo continues to evolve, and their range extends from Hermitage in the north to the Luberon in the south, passing through Côte-Rôtie, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Costières-de-Nîmes, with partnerships now even reaching as far as Roussillon! And recently, the adventure has expanded to the Bordeaux region.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in 2004 by François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier—wine professionals who decided to produce their own wines after working for others—this wine merchant has established itself year after year through high-quality wines made from single-vineyard selections. In 2013, the two partners took over the Dom. des Muretins estate (Tavel and Lirac) and, in 2014, developed a range of Bordeaux wines in collaboration with Patrice Hateau.
