“Intense and rich from the very first whiff, this cuvée combines red berries, spices, and coriander. Continuing along the same aromatic theme, 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 in small quantities on the upper slopes of the appellation. Serve in season with a fine cut of game or age for 5 to 6 years.

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard 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 well-structured without being overpowering, with perfectly defined aromas. The duo continues to evolve, and their range extends from Hermitage in the north to the Luberon in the south, passing through Côte-Rôtie, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Costières-de-Nîmes, with partnerships now even reaching as far as Roussillon! And recently, the adventure has expanded to the Bordeaux region.

About the wine:

Intense and rich from the very first whiff, this cuvée combines red berries, spices, and coriander. 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.

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 established 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

Rated wine (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 vineyards 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 its fine tannins emerging on the finish. It can be enjoyed within the year or cellared for about a decade.
