“Intense and rich from the very first whiff, this cuvée combines red berries, spices, and cilantro. Continuing this aromatic profile, the palate offers a beautiful balance of tannins, alcohol, and freshness, making this wine enjoyable now while also holding great promise for the future. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016) A great wine, produced with low yields on the appellation’s high slopes. Serve it in season with a fine cut of game, or cell it for 5 to 6 years.

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.

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.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Wine rated (2015 guide) 88–90/100 (Excellent wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

Deeply colored, the 2013 Gigondas Vin Rare is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre—partially aged in large oak casks—sourced from high-altitude plots in the eastern part of the appellation. Displaying notes of ripe raspberries, violets, licorice, and spices, this rather full-bodied wine is beautifully concentrated, with fine tannins that emerge on the finish. It can be enjoyed within the year or cellared for about ten years.
