Dauvergne Ranvier

Dauvergne Ranvier is the association of two enthusiasts who, after a wealth of professional experience in major wine companies, decided to create their own cuvées. In 2004, François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier made their dream come true: to create their own wines and make their house one of the most recognized in the Rhône Valley.

With no vineyard, no cellar, and no great financial resources, they forged close links with several Rhône Valley winemakers. In exchange for their advice and an incentive payment, Dauvergne and Ranvier selected the best plots of vines from these winegrowers, who worked them according to their instructions and on their behalf. Everything is reviewed: pruning, weeding, disbudding... in a precise and pragmatic way. This is how the entire wine-making process is determined and rigorously monitored by Dauvergne et Ranvier.

The range of Dauvergne Ranvier wines is divided into four families: Vins Gourmands: fruity and fresh, they easily express the appellation's frank and accessible flavours when young; Grands Vins: more serious and concentrated, they are surprising in that their quality and ageing potential exceed the standards of each appellation; Vins Rares : more confidential, produced at very low yields, they concentrate in their juices all the flavors that can be found in each terroir, and Les Sélections Parcellaires: small selections, each with its own strong personality, found only in wine shops or fine restaurants.
