“This Pitchoun, the winery’s newest Costières wine, boasts a lovely bouquet of red fruits and spices. An inviting opening, complemented by notes of licorice, leads to an elegant, full-bodied, smooth, and velvety palate, supported by firm tannins with good aging potential. Full-bodied and fruity. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

It’s best enjoyed with a roast pork, but its spicy flavor also enhances hearty dishes such as a delicious pizza, pork cheek with green peppercorns, or beef tenderloin with ginger. It also pairs well with a risotto made with wild mushrooms...

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

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 structured without being excessive, with perfectly defined aromas. The duo continues to evolve, and their portfolio stretches from Hermitage in the north to the Luberon in the south, including Côte-Rôtie, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Costières-de-Nîmes—with partnerships now extending as far as Roussillon! And recently, their venture has expanded to the Bordeaux region.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

This Pitchoun, the latest addition to the estate’s Costières lineup, boasts a beautiful bouquet of red berries and spices. An inviting opening, complemented by notes of licorice, leads to an elegant, full-bodied, smooth, and velvety palate, supported by firm tannins with good aging potential. Full-bodied and fruity.

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 been establishing 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.
