Wine rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

The fruit is rich and luscious; the initial taste offers a nice mineral structure, and the tannins are well-integrated, though still a bit young.

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.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

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.

Review by Mr. LAURENT K. Published on July 25, 2021

Saint Joseph—a little too mushy for my taste. Maybe it's just a vintage thing, but I didn't really enjoy it as is.
