“Powerful, infused with black berries and malty notes, the distinctive nose bears the mark of 18 months of aging, primarily in barrels. This is reflected in a full-bodied, heady, and well-structured palate, tightened by a subtle saline note that preserves just the right amount of freshness. A promising balance that doesn’t overlook indulgence, as is often the case with this inspired wine merchant.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
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 with their winemaker friends throughout the year and 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 range extends from Hermitage in the north to the Luberon in the south, including Côte-Rôtie, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Costières-de-Nîmes—and now even includes partnerships as far away as Roussillon! Recently, their venture has expanded to the Bordeaux region.

About the wine:
Powerful, infused with black berries and malty notes, the distinctive nose bears the mark of 18 months of aging, primarily in barrels. This character carries through to the palate, which is full-bodied, heady, and well-structured, with a subtle saline note that lends it just the right amount of freshness. A promising balance that doesn’t overlook indulgence—as is often the case with this inspired wine merchant.
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 other producers—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.
