Dauvergne Ranvier

Dauvergne Ranvier is a partnership between two passionate winemakers who, after gaining extensive professional experience at major wine companies, decided to create their own wines. In 2004, François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier made their dream a reality: to create their own wines and establish their winery as one of the most renowned in the Rhône Valley.

Without vineyards, without a winery, and without significant financial resources, they forged close ties with several winemakers in the Rhône Valley. In exchange for their advice and an incentive-based fee, Dauvergne and Ranvier selected the best vineyard plots from these winemakers, who cultivated them according to their specifications and on their behalf. Every detail is reviewed: pruning, grass cover, debudding... with precision and pragmatism. This is how the entire winemaking process is determined and rigorously monitored by Dauvergne and Ranvier.

The Dauvergne Ranvier wine range is divided into four families: the Vins Gourmands: focused on fruit and freshness, they effortlessly express in their youth the appellation’s bold and accessible flavors; the Grands Vins: more serious and concentrated, they surprise because their quality and aging potential exceed the standards of each appellation; Rare Wines: more exclusive, produced in very small quantities, they concentrate in their juice all the flavors found in each terroir; and Single-Vineyard Selections: small selections, each with its own distinct character, available only at specialty wine shops or fine restaurants.
