“This beautiful estate produces a wide range of top-class wines. Very clear and bright, this white stands out for its intense nose of white flowers with hints of honey. The palate, equally aromatic, is supple and very well-balanced, supported by a lovely liveliness. A young and appealing 2017 that will easily find its place.” A single-vineyard selection, predominantly Viognier, seeking to blend minerality with richness. A truly delicious selection!

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—and now even extends to partnerships as far as Roussillon! 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 beautiful winery produces a wide range of high-quality wines. Very clear and bright, this white wine stands out for its intense nose of white flowers with hints of honey. The palate, just as aromatic, is supple and very well-balanced, supported by a lovely liveliness. A young and appealing 2017 that will easily find its place.

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.
