Dauvergne Ranvier - Crozes Hermitage Granite et Galets 2017
15/20
Bettane & Desseauve
“Generous red fruit, with a palate that leans more toward minerality, and a salty finish more typical of granite soils” (The Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide) Derived partly from a terroir with granite influence and partly from soils covered with Rhône alluvium, this cuvée offers lovely freshness and intensity with fine tannins... Remarkable!

About the wine:
Generous red fruit notes; on the palate, it’s more mineral, with a salty finish more typical of granite soils
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.

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.
